About this Blog

Michael's Lessons from life is my view of the lessons I have learned from the simple to the complex. My father and mother, blessed me with a simple, non complicated way of living and loving life. In a world where it seems the negative has taken over. I want to share a positive, enlightened view of the world as I have experienced it. Including my view of what is happening today.
