Mistakes....lessons

"You can never make a mistake a second time. Because the second time you make it, it's a choice, not a mistake." Well to be honest this is the most clear comment I've read in a long time. How true, first time is a mistake the second time is a choice and then you live with the outcome, no matter what. I really hold this comment to a lot of relationships in my life. I feel like I continue to make the same mistakes, choices when it comes to it-so it's my choice and I can't call it a mistake. It's been awhile since I've had a moment to write my thoughts. Though I have a lot of them, doesn't it figure I can't think of a single one. There has been a lot that has been going on in my life. It's been the smallest things to the largest unknown I've been up against....and honestly no matter how great or how bad it might get, I am thankful. For the lessons mostly....how I learn more about myself and how even though I don't always think or believe it, I am strong. I was given a gift to hold a lot on my shoulders even when I don't think I can add one more thing. I'm thankful for what I learn from other people. How they view situations and circumstances in my life, or their own. I fell that the people in my life now are here at just the right time. Thankful....that's what I am, no matter how many laughs, tears, moments of uncertainty I am OK....we will be OK.
