Hi TA,
I have been enjoying all of the recent visual soliliquays….they speak to me in one way or another. And this one none the less. I agree experience is a hard teacher but sometimes the best teacher, like life…..things often have to be lived to be learned…….and we sometimes think we learn things too late…but it isn’t!
This photo of the snow on the tent is great….it is survival in Newfoundland I am guessing!
We will soon see the other side of winter!
Best
Paula
One of my favourite quotes is “The only thing more painful that learning from experience, is not learning from experience.”
So true!
Hey…I cannot disagree…and hopefully we remind ourselves of that every day.
Again, for me very thought provoking!
