Learning

I was thinking back today on what I have learned in my life so far. It is not much, but they are lessons that I had to learn. For some very annoying reason, I could not just learn from someone else. Life would be so much easier if that was the case...

I have learned to eat my words, and let me tell you, they are hard to choke down.
I have learned that tomorrow will come without fail, no matter how long and hard I wait for it.
I have learned that patience is not something I am good at.
I have learned to appreciate work, because the days I am lazy are never good ones.
I have learned that personalities are all different, and good communication is a rare gift.
I have learned that junk food gets me no where. I just feel guilty for eating it.
I have learned that chocolate does help at the moment, but it is very addictive.
I have learned that gossip leaves a nasty feeling in every ones stomach.
I have learned that prayer is a life saver. Yet, it should not only be used when in need of a lifeline.
I have learned that family is usually treated the worst, because people know that no matter what, family will always be there.
I have learned that friends come and go as you need them in life. Don't mourn the passing, but remember the good times and look forward to new memories.
I have learned that growing up is desired and dreaded, and there are ups and downs to each side.
I have learned that a person is formed by circumstances, and those instances are determined by each person.
I have learned how to trust, and how to be friends without using that trust.
I have learned the true meaning of fake.
I have learned that life is life. Sometimes its hard, but we have to ignore those parts in the long run, and focus on the good times.
I have learned that true forgiveness is something wonderful.
I have learned that Christlike love means loving everyone, not matter how much they hurt you, over and over again.
I have learned to hold my head up high. I know who I am, and I know there are people that love me.
I have learned that the simple things, aka primary answers, truly are the answers.
I have learned to appreciate the beauty in life.
I have learned appearances are not everything.
I have learned to not regret, and how to try to prevent future regret.
I have learned to be more aware of those around me, before I judge.
I have learned to not take people for granted. Someday they may not be there, and I never know what they are going for.
I have learned that listening sometimes means more than flowers.
I have learned to laugh, thanks to my little sisters.
I have learned to not be judgmental.
I have learned that music is wonderful, and dancing is even better.
I have learned to let things slide of my shoulder.
I have learned to be prepared, and enoy the times even if you aren't prepared.
I have learned that I still have so much to learn

And finally, I have learned that even though I know all the above, I still have to relearn them on a daily basis. Dang human being tendencies.
