From Experience.

Goldfinch60



Sometimes it happens that our lives seem to fail

And we need to start them once more.

It can scare us to start again,

But do not be afraid.

This time it will be different

As you are not starting from scratch.

This time will be different,

Different and more meaningful,

Because this time when you start,

You are starting from experience.

    So true - hope all is well with you Andy.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Michael.

      Yes I am fine, start our Christmas Singing this afternoon, the choir is singing in the Market Square as we have done for a few years now at the Christmas Light Switch on. We have a few things to do as we come up to Christmas, it is a busy time as I am in 3 choirs and organise 2 of them.

      How about you and Jeanne, I hope all is well.

        Jeanne is back on IV and the effects are beginning to show again. Hardly sleeping and feeling very weak. It's draining for us both but the alternative isn't worth contemplating - lets hope it settles down as her body adjusts.

        Good write Gold.
        But does it apply to me? I 've had 5,846 singing lessons now. Tutor says I'm getting better. Is he laughing up his sleeve?! lol.
        Yes, he says I'm not starting from scratch, and another 3,000lessons should do it! heehee.

        • Goldfinch60

          Thanks Orchi.

          If you joined our choir we could knock you into shape in millennia.

                  Spot on, great people expect failure, makes the triumph that little sweeter.
                  In saying that, my golf is still crap.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Paul.

                    My croquet is improving.

                    Andy

                    • Paul Bell

                      Croquet stick could be the answer to my problem.

                      Wise words indeed for those regrouping their spirit for a new beginning. Something we all have to do to greater or lesser extent in our lives.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank you d a, yes we all have to do it sometimes.

                        Andy

                      • Lorna

                        Love your words of wisdom Andy. It is scary in my opinion so will try to live your message.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Thank you Lorna, live your life to the best that you can achieve.

                          No better teacher, than experience herself. A life truth there Andy. Worded very well sir.

                          • Goldfinch60

                            So true Garth, with all the degrees and qualifications that seem to influence all the thing that so many forget is that experience cannot be taught and that takes us to places where qualifications are useless.

                            Thank you so much Andy
                            Personally I thank from my whole heart
                            I am stuck somewhere
                            Stuck in career of my life
                            Like a saint I am bowing to God for just one thing
                            And then these lines of you, felt like universe is sending me the message which I needed most
                            I won’t loose
                            Since I have got experiences of my past mistake
                            Thank you so much Sir
                            A much needed poetry for myself

                            • Goldfinch60

                              So glad that my words have helped you spilleronsheet, may your life be full of wonder and love.

                              Andy
