Hey! You! Yeah, you! Could you bring this momma some coffee?
I'll be sharing my struggles and triumphs as I try to pin down inspiration while juggling an 8 year old, 6 year old, 5 year old, and 5 month old (oh, and also navigating my chronic illness). There'll be lots of humor, probably more than a little complaining, and just all around good times.
I hope you'll come along for the journey! (Don't forget the coffee; I'm serious about that! )
Nice entry!
At least you learn from experience. I can't say the same about me.
There's a Turkish saying which shows my not learning from experience. "A blind person is one who falls the same way twice at the same place."
Merry Christmas! That's a horrible situation to be in, but I'm glad you got to spend some quality time with your mother-in-law. Nice to see someone else who's monthly blogging so I thought I'd drop by!
Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. I think you made a good decision. It sounds like keeping her happy and comfortable is the best avenue. I wish you all the best. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, despite the situation.
Prompt: Learning Wisdom
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."
Confucius
What do you think of this quote and what is your method of learning wisdom?
My usual method of learning wisdom is the third: experience. I am someone who has to learn things the hard way most of the time. On a few instances I've imitated (followed the advice of others) and gotten good results, but most often I have to experience the pros and cons for myself for it to stick. Lately, as I've gotten older, I've reflected more on my life, what I want from it, and what actually makes me happy. I think that's a great way to learn what works for you. I think the quote is spot on.
