JusJoJan 16th – You don’t always get what you want…

… but if you’re lucky, you get what you need.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Thank you to Dan at No Facilities for supplying today’s word, experience and to Linda G Hill for hosting JusJoJan amongst other prompt challenges.

When I was getting that experience while growing up, my father always said it “would build character.”

Nice job!

  How much character does a person need? Last year I think I got more character than usual, enough to need an extension built!!!
