Constantly learning
I'm constantly learning. Learning about myself and about others. It's so funny to look back at the way learning and knowledge evolve. I've heard that we learn the most as babies. We have these huge milestones because we come here knowing only basic skills. Our bodies are constantly changing and every thing we do is an accomplishment. Just getting our hands to our mouth is a milestone. We learn to tell our muscles what to do. I run an in home daycare, and have worked with children for most of my life. The more I think I know, the more I find out the less I know! I worked in a daycare center in the "Baby room" before I had kids of my own, thinking that when I had children of my own, everything would fall into place nicely cause of my experience. How wrong I was! I think parenting is such a humbling journey. Maybe just a constant reminder that we are always learning. I mean, have you noticed that when you think back on times when you are confident in your knowledge (for example, when you are a teenager and you know it all), just to get put into a situation where you are in over your head and come crashing down? Pride comes before a fall? I am just trying to make sure I stay humble now, and say, "you know, I don't know it all, please teach me!" Or, "What can I learn from this?" It honestly makes the trials more bearable and the good times more fun :-) What did you learn today?
