Now, those of you that are regular readers will know that this Blog is generally full of my shopping life, opinions and feelings, but not much of my private life. In this installment, I will veer a little off course...
I went to a huge communal lunch, the like of which I have not been to since my childhood. Which brings me to my title - am I the same person I was as a child? Or does Life and Experience change us? My feeling today as I sat with my closest friends was one of happiness and I must say, even with my past experiences, I felt in a very familiar place and behaved accordingly. So my feelings on "Give me the boy and I will show you the Man" are 100% true. But, by being the same person, can we put Life's experiences to good use? Yes, I believe we can. And why is that? Because I've learned that you can never really change anyone, and that if it's not right it won't suddenly become right. You have to either accept that or let it go and move on. And, if you remember me talking a few Blogs back about power, who has it and how to use it - well, this is Power. Power to understand yourself and not to turn a blind eye to your first instinct, is the truest form of power. This way, we won't be surprised or shocked at others actions (like I was).
So, this Leopard hasn't changed her spots and probably neither have you. But here's hoping that we all remember to remember what we've learned as we go from day to day.
