The Beginning

I am new to blogging/writing but have been feeling for several months now that I should write down some of the major lessons I've learned in my life. I realized that this would allow me to go back and read what I've learned, so I can re-learn the lesson myself, but that I may also be able to pass on little tid bits to others who may need/want to learn the same lesson. I don't claim to know everything or feel that I've completely learned all of these lessons. I do however feel very gratefully for the experiences and hard times that I've gone through that have allowed opportunities for me to learn and grow. I feel that I've become a better person for these lessons and would feel ungrateful not to be able to share these with those I love and care about. I have a long ways to go still and appreciate those who have played a big part in my life for their patience, love, understanding and most of all their examples. So, at this point, this may just be for me, or possibly my close family as well, but I look forward to recording it either way. One thing I especially appreciate is that as I've allowed these experiences to teach me about myself. I've started to see the world in a whole new light and see it for it's beauty, which has brought peace and love into my life to replace the feelings of inadequacies (which I still have some of course), fear, anxiety, loneliness, etc.
