I had a boss who as he was training me in my current job, kept calling everything a 'learning experience'. Somehow, I've started thinking that everything in life is a 'learning experience', both the good and the bad. Of course, what I'm learning for in the long run, I haven't a clue.... :) I can't remember any famous quote that has insired me.

The last quote i heard lately that inpired me was "live life like it was your last day, because one day it will be".
I guess getting older has something to do with how it is afftecting me. You learn things that wasn't so important "back in the day" <as my kids would say> are top on your list of things to do today. I don't have any regrets <yet> lol I can still jump out of that airplane. Climb that mountain. (Catch Sal off gard with a GOOD joke) <pay backs> lol
Those were great answers pa sweetie and susie. You are special people for sure!

I do have a favorite quotation that I cut out of a church bulletin, and have kept in my wallet ever since. I guess it has alot to do with how I want to be accepted for who I am. (Yes, a little lack of confidence showing through...LOL)
"Everyone kept telling me to change.
"I resented them and agreed with them, and I wanted to change, but simply couldn't, no matter how hard I tried.
"What hurt the most was that, like the others, my best friend kept insisting that I change. So I felt powerless and trapped.
"Then one day he said to me: 'Don't change. Don't change....I love you as you are.'
"I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed!
"Now I know that I couldn't really change until I found someone who would love me whether I changed or not."
Is this how you love me, God?
