Premium Member Lessons Learned
The lessons learned when we were young From fairy tales and nursery rhymes Were meant to help us grow up strong As up the hill we climb. So, don’t forget the stories told When we would lie down in our beds As slowly, surely, we grow old We keep them in our heads. What captivates a child’s mind To grown-ups might not seem profound. Dismissing...

On the edge of the leaf, spinning, Out of control, glistening Slowly dancing – a waltzlike trembling, glad to see the hesitation of colors, graceful as sun’s reflection on the waters, lakes of melancholic, drifting soundless and soothed by the twisting, gusts,, stilled like a feeling, blessed by imaginations, healed by the Southern sunrise, a melody of laughing hearts, bruised by twilight, feelings, flowing on...

Wrong is shameful in both the old and wise, Take it from one who's lived long enough to know. Life is a stormy sea of wicked woe, And tears are no less wet from older eyes. ...

It's not regrets, it's lessons learned
What is life? but a journey, a collection of experiences, a jar full of memories, a crazy rollercoaster ride of highs & lows, why do we intend on making living in this world harder? by holding on to the things we should be letting go, reminding ourselves it's not regrets, it's lessons learned, it's time shared, it's laughing, it's crying, it's something you can't fully understand, or prepare for, we just have to...

Premium Member Lessons Learned From the Tennessee Valley
Lessons Learned from the Tennessee Valley Spoiled have we become!? When you look back from whence, we have begun, the provision of profit to our young, that sheltered them from hard work, and supplied them with ample fun, have we spoiled our generations to come, only to be left undone? The Tennessee Valley in the forties, provided generations of poverty, the aftermath...

True Story So, I wanted to hang a birdfeeder the bear cannot get to I took some rope, tied a rock on the end of it, to throw over a high branch I kept missing, realizing I lack the athletic ability I had when I was young After many times trying, I threw it again and the rock flew...

Premium Member Lessons Learned From Gramps and Granny
HANGING OUT WITH GRAMPA, I LEARNED A THING OR TWO. GRANNY KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD PASSED ALONG THE CLUES CONFORMITY IS AN ISSUE. AN ILLNESS OF THE MIND. MANIPULATION OF THE WEAK PUTTING SOCIETY IN A BIND. THROUGH MEDIA DISTRIBUTION, SCIENCE CONDUCTED TEST. PROVING MOST WILL GO ALONG THE REMAINDER CONSIDERED PEST. TO THINK OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE, THEY'RE LIVING OUTSIDE THE BOX. BIG TECH CONSIDERS THIS A CRIME. ENCOURAGING THEY BE...

Many lessons we have learned, Were given and never earned. When we use what has been given, all our triumphs and our fails Are not ours alone We have built upon the works of all those who have gone before. If you think your lessons have not been heard, Fall on deaf ears Are just another bunch of words. It’s the failings of youth that your...

Premium Member My Father's Hand
When I was a boy I did not understand Just how much was carried by my Father’s hand. But now that I’m older, I stand in his shoes And see all the burdens a man can’t refuse. I’d nothing but time that I wasted each day. With no nine-to-five and with no bills to pay. Through years and experience fin'ly I’ve...

Lessons Learned Too Soon
I sat at your table I’m sure, I was 5. The first time I learned About being alive. Helicopter landed in The field, Right out back. No time to finish eating, Rushed out, forced to pack. Stayed with a neighbor I barely knew And then the next day, Said goodbye to you. And when you’re...

As the lookout crow caws a warning And raindrops drip from trees Gray clouds the sky's only adorning Life for some a summer's breeze Life for others like the backside of a dead Christmas tree Where no decorations linger And dry needled don't see The future could be bleak or a pleasure, successful or failure What is learned in youth without measure Can be the person's...

As we go through life people come and go, with a lesson to teach. But sometimes their that special someone that comes in your life, that opens your eyes to the whole new world. That makes you believe dreams can come true, the things that you thought was out of your reach; is in your hands or...

Lessons Learned
L-essons learned by study A-re guidelines in life; D-o the things that are taught, Y-ou shall be far from strife. L-essons learned by experience explain why you brave the weather; H-azy air remains beatable on the nineteenth of November. V-aluable lessons learned I-dentify the wrong from right; L-et not your eye turn blind, L-ooking at the dark of night. E-very...

Premium Member Lessons Learned From Cat Sitting
Cats live in the NOW. Cats just want you to BE. Cats have two priorities: LOVE me and FEED me. Cats don’t care if you’ve gained a few pounds. Cats don’t care if you’re not wearing makeup. Lounging will win over exercise and chores every time. A good stretch can cure anything. Gracefulness comes by making chilling your #1 priority. There’s no priority...
