You are right; some lessons are easier than others! :) Thanks for your input.<br />Blessings,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-61606465914908964982012-09-30T22:23:12.951-04:002012-09-30T22:23:12.951-04:00Karen:

Sometimes my bumbling closed the doors for me, and other times God nudged doors shut to prevent me from continuing on my erroneous path.<br /><br />I try to learn from mistakes. Depending on the situation, some lessons are easier to discern than others.<br /><br />Thought-provoking post! Hope you have a great week to come. :-)<br /><br />JanetteJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-19663401898761729472012-09-30T14:54:28.383-04:002012-09-30T14:54:28.383-04:00Cecelia,

A clean kitchen is always nice too. :) We're always learning something, aren't we?<br /><br />Len,<br />Well, like you said, we don't always see the whole picture, but I think even mistakes help place us where we are, and where we are supposed to be. :)<br /><br />Michelle,<br />And I've heard the stepping stones thing, too - really, it is true. They are part of the path that we took to get where we were meant to be. Right or wrong, we are here now, and they help shape or teach us who we are. <br /><br />Kitty,<br />Oh me too. Plenty more mistakes are probably waiting to happen! lol But then, I've learned to lighten up some as I've gotten older. Always learning something, aren't we? :) You take care too, thanks!<br /><br />Joylene,<br />Oh I hear you. All we can do is trust God to work it out. Savor each day and learn what you can, right? :)<br /><br />Caryn,<br />I do too. I think your perspective is a good one; try and learn something through it all. :) Good to meet you!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-78666457292216932192012-09-30T12:54:24.701-04:002012-09-30T12:54:24.701-04:00Sometimes I regret my past mistakes, but I try to ...Sometimes I regret my past mistakes, but I try to see how my life is better because of them - what I learned from them, or what else happened because of this one misstep.

Hmmm, perhaps a job in the past and making a decision to leave an old job - which turned out to be a very good decision. Life doesn't show us the whole pictures...we will only know the outcome after sometime. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the quotes.Len Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394563639136301725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-78322786477857209262012-09-30T02:36:28.135-04:002012-09-30T02:36:28.135-04:00Hi Karen,

You know, we sometimes consider such notification as rude or sometimes, just convincing others as unclean enough. But I was so tired of cleaning the kitchen every time. After pasting the signs in the kitchen, "Keep the Kitchen clean and Tidy", I felt so bad thinking they would think bad of me and blah blah.<br /><br />But I think, I did the right thing. I see Kitchen clean now and your current post just made me feel much better :D<br />Thanks Karen! :DYeesi7https://www.blogger.com/profile/11467144973125434745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-79516071884360535102012-09-29T12:29:55.965-04:002012-09-29T12:29:55.965-04:00Yes, I have made several mistakes coming up.
