ESSAY - LESSONS I'VE LEARNED FROM LIFE - CHANGE
----------
I've learned many lessons from life. One is said above, "I am not the man I was this morning, nor the man of yesterday."
Who I am has changed innumerable times over the last 7.9 decades of my life. In fact, who I am can change "in a heartbeat" as we used to say in the army, or lack of one.... heartbeat, that is.
I can look back at myself, or old television shows, and see how much the world has changed, and how much I have changed... not always in sync with the world.
I'm not simply older, wiser (?), achier, grumpier, or more accepting of the inevitable death and taxes. I recognize the differences between us as not having to separate us, and that accepting and understanding those differences does not require me to change who I am... although they will... and so will I.
So the inevitable facts of life have "changed" for me... death, taxes, change.
