Don't Learn Calculus or Spanish, Learn Life

My life has been turned upside down in every aspect.

I have learned so much about myself, it's amazing.

I have learned so much about the way I need to treat others:
Family, Close Friends, Distant Friends and even 'Relationships'

I have learned so much about the way I need to rely on God for everything
Strength, Provision, Understanding, Trust, Pride (or lack of) Strength (again)

I have learned life skills.
The importance of listening versus hearing.
The importance of genuine care versus caring with motives.
Sometimes I need to be there even if I don't know why.
Opening up isn't a sign of weakness, regardless of how manly I may think I am
for not doing it.

I have learned so much more then what I can express here, I know there are things that I've left out or forgotten to mention.


I hope that you have opportunities to learn in life. Not learning things like calculus, or a new language, but the things that really count. Learn to read people and care for them when they need it, even people you don't like. Learn things that don't necessarily get you ahead in life, but get you a hold on life. Every situation is a learning one, don't let it pass you by and miss the chance to grow.

Come and talk with me. I'd love the opportunity.

Keep your stick on the ice.
