Every time I read Leo Buscaglia’s quote “Change is the end result of true learning,” my response is always the same. I read it and I think, “He’s right.” You learn something, you change. And then I start mulling over the words. And I ask questions like: Have I learned a good lesson … or a bad one? Have I learned …
I like change a whole lot better than I used to. I guess growing up does that to you. I’m not who I used to be — and I’m thankful. And, if I have anything to say or do about it, I won’t be the same person a year from now. I clung to who I was for a long, long …
I didn’t venture too far afield until I married my husband, who was in the U.S. Air Force.
