Posted in Learning all the time
|
I believe that we should always be willing to try new things and hone new skills. We should not be afraid to try something we have always dreamed of doing but never tried because we thought it was not a gift of ours. Instead, we should drop all inhibtions and try something new! I am going to do just that! I want to model learning to my boys. I already do that through showing them that learning is what we do from birth to death and willingly saying, "I don't know. Let's find out." when I don't know the answer to their inquistive questions. I want to take it one step further, though. I want them to learn to not be afraid to stick their necks out and try something new even though it may be difficult or a bit scary to them. I have decided to model that. I have always wanted to write poetry and short stories but felt inadequate to do so. I felt that I wasn't talented enough but finally decided to give it a try and created The Tea Room. This is my safe corner to do try my hand at writing. I also hope that it will model to my boys that one is never to old to try new things. I deleted my JTF blog where I was blogging about my weightloss (that was not going very well) and created The Tea Room instead. The Tea Room will be a bit more uplifting for me. It will not be a reminder of my failed attempts to watch what I eat. LOL Shyly admitting that I posted the poem that I wrote in March as my first entry. It's nothing special but my little attempt at dusting off my skills and giving a go at writing poetry again. © Copyright 2008 Peaceful Meadows |
