Learning Curves....

I am starting to think that as we grow in life we travel down learning curves. Sometimes we get settled in our ways, and just go through the motions of life. Sometimes we go out and explore new things, try new recipes, or go to new places. Life can be one big “learning curve”, and we are in control of how sharp the curves are, even to some extent, how frequent the curves come at us. You know that saying, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. Well, I do not agree with that, I consider myself an old dog, that can learn a new trick or two. I may not motivate myself to do so as often as I should but, as I tell my husband I am “educable”. It is not part of the definition of “learning”, but I think the word growth can also describe learning. As humans we may stop growing in height, we may grow in girth, thankfully though we never stop growing when it comes to learning. We may not try to learn new things, we may even avoid learning new things, but we never lose the ability to learn.
