Important Lesson

[Gopher]

What's the most important lesson you've learned in 2006?

(a) patience is a virtual (especially with toddlers and mothers)

  and

    (b) don't make a mountain out of a molehill (spilling milk on floor is no biggie)

Learn to relax.

  Don't worry about other people's opinions about you unless they are supporting you.

[P.C.]

I learned that we should keep trying new things.....even when we think we're not capable of them.  Sometimes we surprise ourselves, and it's ususally a nice surprise.  

  I learned that there are 24 hours in a day, and some of them should be used for sleeping.

  I learned that... it's funny that the very things that attract us to a person, (whether it's a spouse or a friend)  are usually the things that a few years down the road, are the very things that annoy us about them. So it's probably a good idea to look at those things closely FIRST.

I've learned not to bother hoping that people in authority possess more than a mere iota of  human warmth when dealing with their 'clients'.

I've learned to relax in life, to slow down and just enjoy my quiet time.

[Gopher]

Ah purelife, you're wise beyond your years. That's a great lesson to have learned.

Thanks Gopher.  It took me years to learn how to relax, to really learn to let go, to really be comfortable with oneself and to really believe that everything is okay.  

[Gopher]

I hope this stays with you - if it does, you're going to have great life.

[Lise]

I'll relax more when I'm rich beyond rich.

Could be that no longer living on edge because of constant economising, you'll find life boring. Still, I incline to the same view.
