lessons learned

Here is a shocker...I have made mistakes, some that I am not proud of, they made me look inept, some I was able to get out of...aka divorce.  Everyday I remind myself that my mistakes are lessons learned and have made me who I am today. I consider myself fairly smart, then I do something, usually in the name of love that make me think I am not quite as smart as I profess to be.  The need to be loved, has caused me to make decisions that were so poor that after I made them I came to the realization that I needed to stop thinking with my heart. Things so foolish that I cannot tell anyone or hardly believe that I was that gullible ... now moving forward another lesson learned and another reason I am not putting myself out there....
