The lessons are ongoing.  Never stop learning.  Never stop growing.  Lessons need not be painful, but at times life does get bumpy.  How else do you appreciate the smooth roads?  What goes up does come down.  It is an ongoing cycle.  When you can accept the bumps along with the smoothness, life will be an adventure instead of a nightmare.  It is all of that, and with growing awareness, you find the power to use the gift of will and choose bumps or peace. 

You are so very loved.
