We Are the Aggregate of Our Life Experiences

Whatever that saying is I do believe its true. I believe that we are a sum of our experiences in life. Mom told me of a man she dated back in the day. Had she married him and raised her family would we be who we are now? I would not have been raised on a farm in the country but would have been a city girl like my mom was/is. Mom tried hard to make me a girlie girl but the farm roots were too deep. I have had a variety of jobs and experiences in my 48 1/2 years. I've done manufacturing, sales, retail, blue collar, white collar, and no collar. Each of these jobs helped lead me to where I am today though I'm not sure what part the ladies lingerie has in my current life but maybe that is for a future endeavor! I've been laid off and I've been fired from jobs. Each time I have been lucky to find bigger and better opportunities around the corner. I don't always see the situation as a clear cut good thing at the time but hind sight is 20/20. As I go through this mate finding ritual called dating, I'm finding that there are some opportunities for improvement on selection as well as adjusting my own behavior. Because if you know me at all you know that I need work! So keep your heads high, if today doesn't work out as planned you can chalk it up as experience and use it in your résumé for tomorrow.
