My students also wonder (and/or wander) too.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-57449203370495125472010-11-27T10:52:16.939+00:002010-11-27T10:52:16.939+00:00YP, when I first read this, I read it wrongly and ...YP, when I first read this, I read it wrongly and linked it to some of the comments about regretting nothing. I realise that that is not what you are saying in your piece at all. You do have regrets and I admire you greatly for admitting that. I apologise for that mistake.<br /><br /> We all make mistakes, but true growth comes in learning from them,putting them right when we are able and moving through the forest with the new knowledge and wisdom acquired.On my site, in the page, 'A Joy Worth Knowing' you will find something that I was once quoted as saying in an interview. You may find it helpful. <br /><br />I make many mistakes. I hope that you will forgive any that have impacted on you, YP. But there are very few mistakes that cannot be put right. A huge eraser and a bit of elbow grease is often all it takes to wipe away the rubbish. <br /><br />Take care. xxElizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-57890032963809646012010-11-27T01:25:46.916+00:002010-11-27T01:25:46.916+00:00TO EVERYONE
