Loving life. Living Life. Doing life. Some are just waiting for the fish to bite; or for the wind to fly a kite; or a pot to boil, or a better break; some are just waiting for a string of pearls, or a pair of pants; a wig with curls, or another chance.... Everyone is just waiting (it seems)

Growing Wiser

ZAMBIA | Sunday, 9 September 2012 | Views [408]

I notice it has been two months since I wrote here last. I have been away, 'growing wiser.' How shall I start? It has been a big two months - so much has happened both here in Zambia and whilst overseas. It was wonderful to have mum and dad here to visit us in Zambia. We were with them starting their trip of a lifetime (which they are still on). I started thinking about things how these 'once in a lifetime' events occur in our lives. As we get wiser ( I shall not say older, as that is not always a suitable word), we learn things. Perspectives change, as do priorities. I have noticed that there are some people, who sadly, never 'grow wiser -' their level of wisdom remains low - until such time they have life experiences to enable them to grow in their wisdom. I do think, however, that each of us grow wiser in due timing. The journey of 'wisdom acquisition' grows as we allow ourselves to grow. I have learnt, however, that in order to grow in our wisdom, our minds must be open - we must allow ourselves to grow and to not judge, just because we do things differently. 

So, as I say goodbye (with this short post, I will try to post more often from now on).
