Growing up, people would always say "You learn something new each day.". Well; I am learning that it is true. The word New, means "lately coming into knowledge, fresh or unused, unaccustomed, or recently/lately". So it doesn't necessarily mean that you have never before heard something but that it has now finally become knowledge. And the word Learn means “to gain by experience, to become informed of or acquainted with". So really the new thing I/we learn is just some fresh information. Or it can also be something that we are unaccustomed to that we gain by experience. I don't believe that when you hear something you learn it. You learn it once you can apply it physically or mentally. You learn it once you understand it. I also believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we come to realize things on certain days for a reason. So everyday I will be sharing with you the new thing that I learn or realize, hoping that you can learn from it as I did.

Feel free to comment or even post about your own realization or new thing that was learned.

Oct 15. - 22

I'm sorry I have not been on in a very long time. I have not been able to get to a computer. Going through this past week trying to organize my time with work, family, and friends I have realized the value of time and the phrase "live like we are dying". Five days a week my day starts around six am and ends around twelve am. I work most of it and try to throw in family and school into it. Seeing how each day goes and how much I can get done in three hours amazes me. On Wednesdays in three hours I can do crafts with kids, have snack, play outside, eat lunch, and do a school lesson with them. Sometimes the time flies by and sometimes it seems to drag on. The other day I got off work early so I went back to the house and watched some TV. In two in a half hours all I had done was eat, do dishes and sit around. I don't think we realize how much we can get done in the day that we are given. I was listening to a song and they had said to "live like we are dying" and I laughed to myself because if you really think about it we are dying. Each day we get closer to our death. We can't go back a redo a day. It seems as if we need a dead line of how many more days we have so that way we can make our lives more significant. We aren't realizing that since we don't have a dead line in front of us it is as if we have an unlimited about of days! Imagine all that amazing things we could do and the impact we could make if we had an unlimited about of days left! I think we take for granted all the time we have in this life by think that if we don't have a dead line, we can do anything because there is all the time. We should live each day with the ambition to accomplish the same or more than yesterday, to sets goals for tomorrow, and to have the satisfaction if it would be our last.
