Back to school time
is upon us. A new school year, new
opportunities, and new experiences.
While I personally
am not headed back to school, nor do I have children that are going back to
school, it is still an exciting time of year.
Even if you aren’t
engaged in formal scholastic studies, one should always be learning and growing
their knowledge and skills.
At any given
moment, I can have a l-o-n-g list of topics I want to learn more about, classes
I want to take, degrees that I think it would be neat to have, and more.
Unfortunately,
there just aren’t enough hours in the day, or days in the week for all I want
to learn. Fortunately, online learning
is so much easier to access than it was back in the day when I took my B.A.(History)
from
Currently, my list
includes (for free offerings): an online frame drumming class, an art
journaling class, a couple of history courses, Qigong classes, learning Gaelic
and Welsh, different energy healing modalities, and too many more to list. I also have a long list of paid courses I’d
love to take, but they will have to wait for another time.
Will I actually complete any of these courses I dream about? Only time will tell. And who knows what else will catch my eye that I end up taking instead.
