Ok so I'm behind. Hooray for rescheduling posts.
So this one is supposed to be a DIY on something I know nothing about. I know nothing about a lot of things, but I'm really good at learning stuff about things I know nothing about. I know I've said many times that my life seems to be on this tangent that I get thrown in at the deep end with everything and then simply expected to swim. When I got married I knew nothing about running a home, cooking, creating a budget, how to pay bills. I learned on the fly. I learned by trying. I learned by making mistakes, finding out how not to do something before I stumbled upon actually how to do something. When I got married I'd never even cooked an entire meal for myself, let alone a husband and a child. So I cooked. Chops, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Nobody got sick and died. Ok, so I can cook.
So, maybe that's what my DIY instructions can be about. How to to life - because, really, I don't quite know how to yet...but I'm working on it. Every day.
HOW TO DO LIFE.
- Exit the womb in whichever way seems to happen for you.
- Figure out what noises bring you food, shelter, warmth and loving.
- Make some sense out of letters and numbers - enough to enable you to read some things and add or subtract some things.
- Experiment with the world around you. Find out how things work, how things run, how things are made. Put some things together, pull some things apart.
- Sometimes just stay still and look at things, listen to things, feel some things.
- Taste foods, find out what you like, what you don't like.
- Treat other people and animals the way you would like to be treated.
- Listen to what your heart tells you. It's normally right.
- Make lots of mistakes - and never be afraid to make some mistakes. Think about whether or not there are such things as mistakes. Look at them and think about what you have learned.
- Remember to be kind to yourself, in all things, at all times.
