What I’ve learned in my longer-than-expected life includes the following:
- If I’m open to it, I can learn from everything and everybody.
- We are stronger together than on our own.
- Even though I often dread writing, I can still write a blog post every day for (almost) 10 years.
- Nature, music, animals, and connecting with others can be as therapeutic as medicine.
- There are 8 billion people in the world, and many of them are kind.
- Not as many people in the world are toxic narcissists, but they sure do cause more damage and make more noise.
- I can alienate somebody by asking them, “What have we learned from this?”
- I can survive alienating somebody and also everything else I’ve encountered (so far).
- Even though I may struggle making decisions, my decisions are good enough.
- I always have pictures and words to share with you, no matter what.

What have we learned from this?
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “what I’ve learned.”
Thanks to all who have learned much in their lives, including YOU.
I am in near-constant state of learning, full of wonderful and mind agog to the world
It’s wonderful, beth!
I’ve learned that I’m curious enough to keep learning, Ann.
I appreciate all that I’ve learned about you, Mark.
I always learn something from your blog!
That makes me very happy!
“To thine own self be true.”
As long as I’ve come to know you through your blog, that quote, I feel, is accurate and honoring. Most can’t say the same.
-Alan
I honor your true self too, my friend.
I did not know that “what have we learned from this?” is a question that could alienate anybody!
I was surprised too, Maureen!
A few years ago I got a box of eight different kinds of baklava. I already knew I loved baklava but that gift just confirmed that I love at least eight different kinds.
I love everything I learn about you, Chris.
I’ve learned on Twitter that there are so many truly clever people “out there,” and that I can really care about total strangers!
