Back to school?
But it’s okay…It’s okay to not know because that’s what learning is, that’s what life is. After all, it’s September and back to school time for all of us.
Whether we’re in kindergarten or just a bewildered adult, life is all about the learning. And it’s not a waste of time!
Why are we here? Because we have
- lessons to learn
- choices to make
- skills to master
- time to spend
- joy to experience!
And since no one is responsible for grading/judging us, we can take a deep breath, give thanks for being alive and just play/work/grow/live/love/give/..!
What can we do with this opportunity? What gift do we want to give to the world? to the community? to our family? to ourselves?
What do you want to focus on this fall? Picking one goal to focus on is smarter than feeling overwhelmed by trying to do a bunch of them right now. We all know how quickly we can get discouraged if we bite off too much.
- Maybe there’s a skill you’d like to start improving?
- Would a class get you started? a YouTube video? A friend to tutor you? (I’ve got my sister mentoring me as I work on improving my knitting!)
- Maybe there’s an activity you’d like to participate in? (I’m enjoying a twice-weekly Tai Chi practice at the Y!)
Eating that elephant can be done only one bite at a time. And where you choose to start (trunk? tail? leg? side?) is up to you!
Feel free to share what you might choose to start with!

Pat,
I loved this, particularly CB’s cartoon. I think I am going to try my hand at new classes and more books.
Love and Light,
Sandy
