slow to learn

Sometimes I feel like I have learned a lesson 25 times and each time I thought I had it all right... then I learn it again and I think: I've heard this before. It can be terribly time consuming to have to learn lessons over and over and over. One of those little lessons is the importance of journaling. I'm constantly amazed at how awesome it is to go back and read my journal entries from years earlier. I read things that I had forgotten. They feel good and bring up wonderful memories. I have made it a point to journal possitives because that is what I want to remember. This blog is a journal, however, to remember all things (good and bad) so that I have documentation of things I thought I learned but never remembered because I didn't take the time to write down the lessons learned. These thoughts are for the progression of my family, to make life easier and to be better users of my time by learning from the mistakes I make the first time. It isn't all good. But if I learn from my mistakes then my weakness becomes strength. I hope even more that these lessons will be a help to my children as they come into the difficulties life offers.
