Things I’ve learned…..
Jun 23rd, 2009 at 11:47am
 
I was changing some stuff around on my profile and noticed the date I joined CH.com….. August 26, 2003 at 11:17a. I will have been here “officially” for 6 years in August. I lurked for a good while before registering so I guess you could say I’ve been here longer than the “record” shows.

Anyway…noticing that date made me thing about many of the things I’ve learned, discovered, experienced or had reinforced over my years here at CH.com. Most are positive, some are reflective and some are…..well…they just are.

In no particular order here are just some of them…..
I learned I could live with this crap. It is part of what I am but it is not who I am.
I learned what weapons work for me.
I discovered that I am a better person for having this demon in my head than I was before it came.
I have seen complete strangers offer up anything they could to one another in time of need.
I have met some of the finest people I have known in this lifetime.
I realized that I am most comfortable in the shadows rather than on the stage.
I remembered that people are not always what they appear to be. For better…..or for worse.
I realized that no matter what you are doing and how you are doing it, there is always someone that will tell you that you are doing it incorrectly.
I have seen that insightfulness is a cluster trait. So is the ability to argue with a stop sign.
I remembered that you not only cannot please everyone, sometimes you can't please anyone. Including yourself.
I realized that “Every now and then say, "What the fuck." "What the fuck" gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.”  is not just a memorable line from an 80’s movie.
I discovered that some deal with pain by inflicting it upon others while others deal by inflicting it upon themselves.
And finally….I have realized I will be a member here until the lights go out.

He stores it all up for long periods of time, then blurts out great kernels of wisdom like this one.

When Beeyul posts, I know it's gonna be good.

You know!
I lurked around for a while before plucking up the courage.
Maybe DJ could set up lurCHing police and hold all lurkers in cyberspace till they registered, then maybe like you and I, would feel the benefits.

Wonderful post...........

When I was young....mmm many years ago there was a record album made by Morey Amsterdam.

It was called Mixed up stories for Smart Kids.

My favorite quote was "Nothing I do will be good enough for you, so I will be good enough to do nothing for you".

It has never left the recesses of my mind and I find it applicable to every day live.

Just something I have learned Smiley

Joy to the world, Iddy

"I have seen that insightfulness is a cluster trait. So is the ability to argue with a stop sign."

The Stop sign is always wrong



'I don't post enough"

I never post enough, don't know why but I read everyday

I have learned that I have a family here, it dosen't matter where you come from, your excepted and ppl understand.
They will do anything for you.

You can't always pick your family, but I have and receive more understanding from this family then my own.

hugs and PF wishes
