Are we the sum of our experiences?

       Polly's Flowers from her garden 

Are we the sum of our experiences? I'm wondered this morning, "We" I say loosely, as I'm only going by my experience. I know what we have experienced is what makes us, but is there more? Do we examine our thoughts and change? Or do we just take the person we have developed into at its face value?

I'm not sure, as looking back at the person I am, and remembering the person I was at a young age, if I've changed, or just developed from that to this? 

I go hm now, a Short hmmm. LoL, you know what I'm talking about, just thinking am I changed because I intended to, or did it just happen? I'm not sure, but I'm happy with the person I've become, always something I can improve on I know, still I'm content, and still discovering me. 

Today after the last 8 months in our new to us home 🏡, changes, planting, grass cutting for the first time in years. Polly is so content to, out planting flowers she bought yesterday, Gladiolas and Shell flowers. Going to be beautiful I'm sure. 

I planted the two blue berry 🫐 🫐 bushes I bought awhile ago last night, our purchases are like our life, random, not a real plan, just something we liked, so we bought them, and planted them. 

Kinda like our thoughts, we take what we like as we see things, or hear things, then decide what fits for us, and what doesn't. Choice is what's important here, we have a choice. Looking at what I read about many places in our world 🌎 I think we are extremely fortunate to have not only choice, but freedom mostly to do what we want, well alot of what we want. 

The further north ya go, I believe the freeer we are, in that rules loosen the further north ya are. Although I'm quite happy here, after traveling as much as we did, gave us a really good look at what here is like compared to other places in North America, as well as other countries.  

Shayla just called, our granddaughter, her husband is about to make some changes at there New to them yard. Got an excavator there, and going to change things, we had a short talk, as she's busy, but nice to communicate with her, even just a short conversation, get to know what's up. 

This morning had a short conversation on messenger with my sister in law, know what's up with her day, and she ours.

Talked with Penny this morning quite a bit, understand what she's been up to. 

A message on Snapchat from our granddaughter Taylor, drinks out she shows, we hoping that'll change, but she's young. A message from our oldest grandson, he won at the casino! Polly of course interested in that 🎰, is one of her interests. 

Feeling like all ducks in a row 🦆 🦆 🦆 today. 12:20, and still sitting here, pecking on this phone. 😊

Off to visit a friend today that's had a tough time lately. 

Sure do love our life ❤️
