15 Lessons Learned


As we tumble through life, along the way we gather and collect, somewhat unconsciously, life lessons that we have learned.  Some are small, inconsequential, and some are so cosmic that they change the course of our life.  Sometimes for the good, sometimes not so good.  But isn't that the mystery that keeps us rolling along? 

Here's a few of my life lessons. 

So far anyway. 

I anticipate I have many more to encounter! 

How about you?
