the lessons...always the lessons

Another day filled with lessons. I can't escape them. This must be what it means to be a grown-up. But I also know that this is what it means to be a person open to the lessons. Only when you are open to them do you see them for what they are. (Though that doesn't mean that they won't repeat themselves until you learn them.) Now that I am here and aware, really, they will never stop. Still, could I have one day of peace? Just one.

I finally got to exactly where I wanted to be, she said, so why won't all these growth experiences go away & leave me alone?
