Lessons Learned 2/9/2022

 Good Morning,

One more day without Door County Coffee and then I will enjoy a couple of cups The flavor has yet to be determined. 

Proverbs 21:11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple one is made wise. But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge. 

If one were to sum up a fact of life there is no doubt  we could say that one's life is a series of lessons learned. In the beginning of a life the lessons are more numerous than later in life. There is more to learn when we are young and the expectations are more intense. 

For instance, everyone rejoices when a baby can start to feed themselves. The hands on approach to eating spaghetti is cute and still efficient. But by the time you reach the age of 21 the cuteness of red hands and pasta in your hair has long worn off. There is the expectation that before 5 years of age you will have mastered a spoon and fork.

You might say that the world turns on lessons learned. When we achieve our old age there are still lessons to be learned. For one, you can't physically do all the things you did back when you were in your twenties. Weight is harder to lose when you get older and resting is more important.

My point for the day is this. Lessons to be learned will approach us until we die. The important thing is to embrace that fact, learn the lesson and move on to the next. The world does not slow down or stop turning to wait on us to learn a lesson. so get going on the lesson you are in right now and graduate to the next one.
