Things That I Have Learned, by Yolanda Adele

I have learned that friendships can fill voids when family brings disappointments.

I have learned that grandchildren are God’s gift of a second chance.

I have learned from myself that change is necessary.

I have learned from the events of September eleventh 2001, that tomorrow is not a given.

I have learned from my husband that love brings comfort.

I have learned from my cat to nap when the tasks at hand are too trying.

I have learned from my homemaking that I don’t have excuses to be bored.

I have learned from my addiction to chocolate that some things are out of my control.

I have learned through my writing that I have something to say.

These are the life lessons that I hope to keep present in my mind as the New Year comes in with its new adventures and challenges.


I WISH ALL MY FRIENDS IN MEMOIRS GROUP A YEAR FULL OF NEW AND REWARDING DISCOVERIES.

  1. Yolanda,

    As we begin a new year together, it is a good thing to look back over what we have learned in the past, and look forward to what is coming next. Thank you for the reminder to reflect on what we have learned.
