For the most part, I believe i learn something new every day. Sometimes the details are miniscule but sometimes, and these are my favorite, I come across an honest to goodness, real life thing I didn't know before that very second. I will frequently, when the moment allows, stop and spend a moment committing the new thing to memory, writing it down if necessary...and writing it down has become more and more necessary the older i get. Sometimes, I push it to the back of my mostly crowded mind until I have time to really sink my teeth into it. Sometimes waiting is the kiss of death. The new thing I just thought I had learned was not learned at all for it has been forgotten.
But I make an effort to learn a new thing every day. Maybe it is just a work thing or just some cooking trick...whatever it is, I know I am fortunate to have learned it. Every day I feel smarter, even for just a moment, for having learned something new.
Today I began a writing Masterclass by James Patterson. I learned that the passion for writing has to be exercised and fed to keep it alive. I have to make time for writing. And so it shall be. I will write every day. Something. This blog. Bits and spurts of my story.
Just as long as I keep writing. No excuses! An hour a day is not much to give to my passion.
My passion. I like the sound of that.
Later...
