Read a great article lately about love of learning reminds me of my patriarchal blessing given long ago in 1960 that encouraged me to learn all things so I can develop to my potential...that's quite a challenge considering I was graduating then from college. Life has many things to teach us and they aren't all learned in the classroom. How to learn from each experience whether negative or positive is important.
I like to ask questions that helps me learn new things. I love teachers who are enthusiastic about their topics be it computers, photography, rock art or theology. You're never too old to learn new things or to teach others. My son Daniel who started me with computers chuckles when I tell him I've teaching others all I know.
There is no limit to what we can still learn at any age or with any limitations be they: physical, spiritual, social, intellectual or emotional. All that stops us is our lack of curiousity, wanting to learn more about this world. You can teach old dogs new tricks IF they want to learn and make the effort.
Some things I am studying now are: POETRY how to rhyme and use rhythm to make words more interesting for children and others; DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY-taking photos and editing them, then using them to write about; DIETING-becoming a healthier me through exercise and food choices; RELATIONSHIPS- how to connect with family members better; and WRITING-capturing the past in words, celebrating life through blogging and making new friends.
I still want to TRAVEL more, see new sights and meet new people. HOW ABOUT YOU?
