I learn more than one thing everyday. I would hope that we all do. Ideally many of these lessons would be about ourselves. While we learn throughout life, if we are paying attention, it is important to focus on ourselves, ourselves in relation to others, and ourselves in relation to the world. It helps to pay attention, reflect and see what is working out for you and what needs some work. As human beings, we need to focus on the learning that comes from being....not necessarily in the doing.
One thing that I've learned today is many people perceive me as angry....angry all the time. This surprises me and somewhat disturbs me. I don't feel angry all the time - I have fits and stops of angry and then lots of silliness, joy, love, caring, comfort, and peace. In my job I believe anger is a requirement. You know the old saying, "If you aren't angry you aren't paying attention!" That applies to my work daily.
I've learned that I should share the happy, silly, peaceful Penny with more people. Maybe they would want to be around me more often. This is a huge epiphany for me. Thanks for reading!
