Lessons I’ve learned....and a Few I haven’t

Right now I’m in a holding pattern….waiting for the approval process of the new drug, Abiraterone….I’ve read really good things about it. They say the side effects are minimal……that’s what they said about the clinical trial drug too….wrong!

I once wrote “I wish every once in a while I could just learn something instead of always being so brutally taught!”

Hell, I’ve learned and been TAUGHT more in the past 2 years than I did the 59 years prior!

To say this experience has changed me and who I am would be a gross understatement, but I’ve found that this is usually the case for folks like me that are fighting the beast….Once you really have to look death in the eye......it changes everything!

It’s too bad that most of us can’t get here without it being the result of personal hardships.

As far as my lessons are concerned....I really don’t know where to start but the best way for me...is to create a list!  Here goes!

1. Nothing is more precious than life.
2. Don’t ever take your health or your friends and family for granted. 
3. The more you love the more you’ll be loved.
4. Bless the beasts and the children (obviously not original)
5. Money may not buy happiness but it sure buys serenity!….as the Good book says…it’s the love of money that’s bad…..I guess.
6. Don’t love things that can’t love you back.
7. Sometimes it’s better to just be quiet.....even if you’re right.
8. It ain’t always about you.
9. You can count your true fiends on one hand.
10. I’ve learned to listen instead of just hear.
11. We’re all surrounded by Angels and sometimes…they are us.
12. You can’t shine a turd……and shouldn’t try.
13.  I'm sure I've learned more but this is off the top of my head now.

“They” say the difference between a girlfriend and a wife is 30 pounds.
And the difference between a boyfriend and a husband is 30 minutes.

As far as this new drug is concerned.…same war different sword!

Thank you for the support through both Prayers and Spiritually.

I’ll be in touch. B
