Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

I was given this writing prompt and decided to go with it.

My life has been greatly affected and inspired by my maternal grandmother.

The lesson I wish I had learned earlier in life, is that my grandmother was a literal walking encyclopedia with a wealth of knowledge for all things natural.

I wish I had taken notes on almost EVERYTHING she’s ever told me. I only have a notebook of things she told me once I realized the value of her speech.

I seriously missed out on a legacy that I can not get back. The newer generations do not realize the value in the old. Simple things like making bread or growing a few things you can eat from your own garden. Life has been fast paced and hurry hurry rush rush.

Stop and enjoy people before you lose that opportunity and maybe take note of what memorable things they say. Especially if it touches your heart.
