What I learned today.?

Sometimes when I am having a challenging day I like to think of something I learned no matter how small.

I thought it would be interesting to see what others learn each day.
what I learnt today.?
I found that a person being helpful makes me smile.

What I learn today (and most days) is that

'Adversity challenges us to change the way we think about things' ;

and what I learn tomorrow is:

'Why didn't I make use of that opportunity yesterday?' ...

i have had lots of change in last few years so I find it hard to cope with change big or small.
i am trying to look at things from another view point.

Hey Quirks,

Ironically, most of my major life crises have blessed me with the fondest of memories - not for the suffering, of course, but the humanity and humility from all those who served and many more I encountered along the journey.

today I learned that sweeping a beach serves little purpose.

Hello Quirky, Tranzcrybe & everyone

Hmm, just thinking, I don't usually ask myself that question. Oh, sometimes I realise I have learned something, but it is usually well after the fact.

However, today, I was making a salad, some for lunch & keeping some for dinner. I thought, for lunch I would make pasta for it, & for dinner I'll make potato. I have learned I prefer pasta with this version of my tuna & pasta or potato garden salad. & I also included a little squeeze of lime juice. That was a nice addition, too.

& I also have learned I don't like the movie 'reservoir Dogs', even with audio description. I can't be bothered trying to figure it out or to track each character.

I hope I will learn something more profound to add here.

I particularly like Tranzcrybe's post from a month ago. Their "sweeping a beach serves little purpose" is certainly worth quoting.

& I also like your post, "Humanity and humility are good teaching tools", too. We can all learn from what we observe around us.

Hugzies
