Experience Far be it from me to start making personal comments here on FriendFinder-x, but I was looking at one of your blogs just now (I am not going to say whose ) and, seeing a comment from one of your male admirers, I was moved to say out loud, "Is it just me, or is there something wrong with his bollocks?" Anyway, that isn't what I logged on to blog about. I was inspired by a scene in a run-of-the-mill movie on TV. (Notice I said "movie" - sorry Peter, Synn, etc, but I know where the majority of my friends live. ) "The Guardian" with Kevin Costner actually. Not the deepest piece of cinema ever, sort of like "Top Gun" only with coast guards. Anyway, there was this scene in the film, I mean movie, in which Costner was complaining about getting old (he looked okay to me ) and his friend, brilliantly played by Bonnie Bramlett I think, gets the line, "Getting old ain't bad. getting old? That's earned." She prefaces it with a few gems like, "If my muscles ache, it's 'cos I used them. I've got a few wrinkles here and there, but I've layed under thousands of skies on sunny days." I like that sentiment. I thought about how it applies to me, and I wanted to add to it. Because for me, like many people, being young was handed to you on a plate for nothing. Okay it can be tough finding your way, but you don't have to have anything to make a start. But getting old really does have to be earned. Experience isn't what you've seen or heard or lived through, it's what you've learned from it. Experience is learning how easy it is to be wrong. And if I think I know the best way to deal with something, it's usually because I've got it wrong before and paid the price already. If I have hope, it's because every now and then something amazing that I never could have dreamed of has happened. And if sometimes my heart aches from holding memories, it's because it's full of them, pressing on the<b> scars </font></b>of fires that lit me up inside so brightly in the past. |

It's not that often that something specific someone says here touches me quite the way your last paragraph has. Learning the lessons is impotant, thankfully there's also still time to apply them, still time to be surprised and light new fires. Good girls go to heaven,....Bad girls go EVERYWHERE! I love to travel  Come visit my blog tigger678902

If you keep writing things that jump out like that, i'm going to have to be careful every time I enter your blog, so I don't trip and fall! and I do know what you mean when you say FILM and MOBILE and other such odd things!  that's from watching Harry Potter.  --Author Unknown
