As person...
I use to always say, I'm going to say what I want and how I feel. What did I learn? I learned that its not necessary to say it all. It can hurt others.

As a mom,wife,person
Forgiveness is not the hardest thing. Not TRUSTING is.
I held on to alot of anger because of what certain people did to me or did to my children.
What I learned?
I learned to forgive. It set me free.
What I have to learn as an adult?
Trust
Maybe I will master that one when I write "What I learned in 50 years:)"

As a person
I was so confused in what love was suppose to be. How it should feel. I allowed my experiences to confuse me about Love.
What I learned?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
—I Corinthians 13:4-8a
**If you follow this, then you know what love is and you won't settle for anything less. You may even have to teach someone what love is. The verses above, saids it all. Love should be with out conditions. It should be UNCONDITIONAL.
Another thing I learned....
I may not agree with what you do, but I still love you. As a mother and a friend I learned that.

As a wife
I use to feel like I wasn't appreciated. I would feel as though I did so much and didn't receive the same.
What I learned?
A woman is suppose to be GREAT and sometimes in being Great we are often over looked. That shouldn't discourage you, thats what a virtuos woman does. Takes care of things. I also learned that with being a woman/wife/mother comes great responsibility and sacrifice. Some can do it and some can not.
Proverbs 31: 10
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

As a person
I would find myself getting discouraged when things didn't work out and often I felt like giving up and sometimes I actually did.
What I learned?
I learned that when I feel discouraged I just have to think of another plan. Changing plans will change the circumstance, especially if the old one wasn't working.

As a child and As a person
I use to make excuses for my bad decisions by saying that such and such made me act that way. I use to make excuses about my hurt by justifying it by acting out.
What I learned?
If we allow what other people have done to us change us in a negative way then we are actually allowing them to control our life. When things happen in life, that should steer us in the direction of wanting better or being better.

As a mother..
As a mother we tend to hide what we are going through for the sake of the kids, but that will lead the kids into ignorance. You have to use discretion though because they can't know everything. Sometimes in telling children things that they are not prepared to accept or hear,can make them confused and they can even end up turning on you,with too much information or not enough information. Its hard to make that call as to what to tell them and what not to tell them. Be prepared for the after effects of the truth. The truth is good, but when its told when someones mind is not mature enough to comprehend, that can lead to so many other problems.
Being once a child I know that children do not think about their mother's feelings not nearly as much as there own. And as a mother I learned that my own children view me the same way. As if I don't feel, as if I don't cry, as if I hadn't endured things. Sometimes they even see me as not knowing about life. Children also see the picture, but they didn't see what I had to go through to get that picture.
As a mother I learned that my children won't understand what it is like to be a parent, until they become one themselves.

As a daughter
As a daughter I learned that I was so selfish as many children are.
I regret it more now because I wish I could have made my mother smile and laugh more instead of cry. When I left my mother at 13 years old, I hurt her so much.
I should have never left. I wish I was well behaved. She didn't deserve that.
Growing up I realized that I really didn't think of her feelings, so I learned a really hard lesson. A lesson of regret.
So many things I went through in my life, I know my mother had to go through them and worse. I wish I could tell her how much I love her and what a strong woman she was. I can't though because shes gone. I miss her so much.
I learned how to appreciate my mother.

I feel compelled in starting this...
Its funny how we think we know it all at 20 and when 30 comes,we learn more and when 40 hits,you feel like you wasted so much time making the wrong decisions. You feel as though your on a mission to accomplish more and not make the same past mistakes. The truth is, its like starting all over. In my writing I will go over some life events. Some in details and some not in details, but I will have conclusions in what I learned from those experiences. Some are heart breaking, and some are pleasant, but yet and still, I learned alot. I learned how to be a better person, from my past mistakes.
