i am a work in progress
as is every person i know
no one is fine
no one is finished
no one is perfect
which is the way it should be
i try to learn at least one new thing
daily
every day
sometimes more
even on days when i am feeling sick
or down
or fabulous
or any other mood
you would like to put in there
thing is...that one thing to learn?
could be a fact
a figure
a concise bit of trivia
or it could be
learning that i am loved
which for me
is the hardest lesson ever
and one i cannot seem to fathom
truly and wholly
and one i keep having to learn
it is the best lesson
the best *new* thing to learn
although i like to fill my little head
with the facts
and figures
and trivial bits
because they are much easier to digest
and to accept.
