I've been facing some struggles in life of late and have been surprised to find that I'm actually learning new things about myself. That the person I thought I was might not actually be the person I am. Maybe I went through my 20's in this self-discovery stage and just decided that was it...I found myself and that's who I will remain for the rest of my life. Ahhh...the naivete of youth. :)
It scared me for a second...shit, if I'm THIS old and don't know myself by now, I'm screwed.
But, actually, I guess it's kinda cool that I still get to learn. I still have the ability to grow. I can DO better and BE better...that I'm not a lost cause. *sigh*...and for that...I'm thankful.

Oh, my dear, don't be worried about that. I'm 51 and I'm still learning new things about myself, some good, some not so good. :)
I think it's a lifelong process and it's good for you. I'm more concerned for people who seem to stop learning things about themselves. I've known at least one person like that--and I hope I was wrong about her.
But you seem to do fantastically, just from the little I know of you, listening to your conversations on twitter. You really seem to embrace life and the whole world. Don't be too hard on yourself.
Thanks, Mara. Learning...eek...it's just hard sometimes, ya know? But you're right...it's a lifelong process, and yes, *sigh*, good for me. :)
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! *muah*
