What is an important lesson that you've learned recently?My answer: I've learned that communication is very important. To have a relationship with another that is going to be in any way meaningful and something other than shallow, both individuals must communicate, and must risk in being open. If either one is not willing to do so, the relationship does not last long. This goes for any kind of relationship. Sometimes being open is a scary thing, because you have to risk getting hurt -- that is, risk rejection. But it's worth it, because if you don't open up, you'll never know if you'll win the friendship of the other person -- who just may be the best friend you'll ever have for life. By the way, I'm dedicating this post two my two Best Friends Forever -- You know who you are! :)

ReplyDeleteI've learned that we can make all the plans we want, but in the end God is in control and we just need to accept whatever comes our way.
ReplyDeleteWhat important lesson have I recently learned? I am free to believe!
ReplyDeleteI want to say that I am living the lesson currently, which is to never, ever, give up.
ReplyDeletefor me, every waking day brings a brand new lesson(s)...that Life never fails to do that.
ReplyDeleteGem :-)

ReplyDeleteI've learned through all the up and downs and challenges life has dealt to live by my personal mottor "No One Or Nothing Will Get Me Down" it works for me and lets me get through each day.
ReplyDeleteI have learned that if you want to really know the truth about a situation you need to go to the source. People mean well but they do not always hear correctly and then pass on only partial truths. So checking out what you hear is a must especially if in not doing so you end up hurting someone.
ReplyDeletegood question Krissy!
ReplyDeletemy answer - trust in God - really trying to learn that and get that embedded into my heart -- with trust in him comes a newer love for him -- trusting him has always been something I've struggled with but the Lord's been helping me a lot with this lately
take care of yourself

That my happiness is my own choice and my own responsibility. I'm still working on that one--I have a tendency to let others' moods and actions affect my mood too much. It's one thing to share someone's sorrow; it's another to let someone drag you down!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you and John, just wanted you to know I'm thinking about both of you.
ReplyDeleteI've recently learned that I shouldn't wait until Tuesday to answer Monday's question.
ReplyDeleteThat's Tuesday a week later, I now realize.
ReplyDeleteOnly as much as I dream can I be.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should post this; the most important lesson Ive learned recently is to let down walls and let others in. Sorry so late!
ReplyDeleteMy lesson is reaching out to people. If I want people in my life, all I have to do is reach out to them and be open to the difference between us. I very seldom leave home, but I have an abundance of friends. I am often alone. But, I am never lonely.
ReplyDeleteKrissy,
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and John, especially since you haven't posted in a bit. Sending a prayer your way!

Sleep. Yes, sleep is most important. You learn this when you can't find it.

I am learning that you do the most growing when you are out of your "element".
ReplyDeleteI wish you and John well. I am new to blogging, so forgive me if I don't seem to jive with the normal. I learn recently that I am alone, and everyone is alone. And it is the value of being alone that we value sharing and communicating. I wish you have a look at my blog at http://thtenergytherapycenter.blogspot.com and http://alidrusone.blogspot.com - I don't know if I can be of service to John. Best regards.
