I think you and Buddy are both on the right track in seeing the circularity of life and learning! It's fun to revisit and perceive things differently the second (or third) time around. tjc Hi, Carol,

Thanks for this post –that’s the nice part about having a little experience behind us … the perspective changes! I think you and Buddy are both on the right track in seeing the circularity of life and learning! It’s fun to revisit and perceive things differently the second (or third) time around. tjc

Years ago, my husband used to joke that I couldn't put a flower arrangement together that wasn't linear - all the flowers just standing straight up. Back then, I tested as a pretty high "J" in MBTI. Last year, I tested a slight "P". Nothing else has changed in my INTJ_P profile. But I see learning as a circle that doesn't end. A few years ago, that open-endedness would have driven me up a wall. Today I'm basking in circling back and reflecting. And my whole approach to flower arranging has changed as well ;--) Buddy has a statement at the end of his email signature – “I think my learning curve is a circle!”….so appropriate.
