what are some events in your life that have taught you important lessons?

Answer 1

i lost someone who mattered most to me--it taught me to appreciate who is in my life

divorce--taught me to stand up for myself and be strong, again, teaching me appreciation

marriage (2nd husband)--taught me to love unconditionally and with all of my heart

Answer 2

Well that's a good question. My Dad being a recovering alcoholic, it taught me how to be patient and that people do change. The death of my Mother--nothing lasts forever--we all know this but only when it hits home does it become real for someone.

Radical change in my life and I recommend it to ANYONE.

You asked didn't you? Now you know what it was for me.
