The daily prompt wants to know – What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective?

I learned that the better listening skills I use, the more I know about people. That and some well-placed questions can really open your eyes.

I learned the better research and investigation I do the better decisions I make. I’ve gotten a little lazy in retirement when a simple task of replacing my tractor taught me that incorporating some of the skills I used long ago when working still comes in handy.

I learned I can’t handle the heat like I used to so my perspective on the part of the day I want to be up for and outside has shifted.

I learned compartmentalizing things is a good survival skill.
