Hi Everyone :):) Before I leave this on the thread, I shall be unable to answer anyone at the moment as I am out for the evening shortly sorry. So what did life teach me ? Life taught me to have respect for others, that everyone has a right to be wrong on occassions. to listen to my own mind and conscience whilst listening to others opinions, only then should I make a decison based on all of those things combined. Even then to keep my mind open for the future listening. Life taught me to respect opinions for that is what they are opinions after all, my opinion may not necesarily be that of another but it is not my right to judge them for it, likewise others should show an equal respect and not judge me for the right to an opinion. Life taught me to say sorry when in the wrong and to accept anothers apology but not to be taken for a fool if the same thing happens over and over. I was taught that it is right to forgive although not necessarly forget. Life also taught me that a genuine apology is one where bridges can be re built and new begginings start to happen. Life taught me that to continue dwelling about bad things in the past can only bring me further misery by remembering the original feelings I may have had. Life also taught me many a hard lesson about life being to short, none of us can turn clocks back when something happens to prevent us from saying things we really wished we could or should have said at the time. Sometimes life takes that chance from us and we have to live with it forever. Life taught me some valuable lessons and will continue to teach me valuable lessons Life taught me the hard way on a lot of occassions but gave me so much life experience along the way :) Can you think of lessons that life has taught you. Colin :):)

Colin you are so right. I would like to say that with me it has to be Dont dwell on the things you cant change, but concentrate on the things that you can. This saved me when suffering very bad pnd.

Colin laddos Karate school has a big emphasis on politeness and appreciation. After they got their belts tonight they had to say thank you to both teachers and they were then told to remember that they could only do it because us parents had paid for it so they had to say a big thank you to us and were told to cuddle us and give us a kiss as a sign of their appreciation, pity things like that arent drummed into all of us, even the little things people do should be appreciated and thanked.

If one door is slammed in your face...it's because there is another door open and waiting for you. Life is too short for regrets....learn from your mistakes and there will be no place for regret. Love Daff xx
