Re: Forgetfulness Not as bad as we think
One of my main beliefs is that all adults should learn something brand new every couple of years. I have practiced this philosophy, and have found it to be very valuable. I believe it keeps me humble - because I remember what it's like to NOT know how to do something, and to start from scratch. This makes it easier for me to be patient with the younger folks in my life. It also keeps my mind active. I know from my years of teaching that when we are learning new things, our brains are actually making new neuron connections. My current new activity is learning how to garden vegetables organically.
