Revive your mind

First, allow me to apologize to my daddy, who told me that one of his pet peeves is that people who blog oftentimes don't upkeep their sites. Oops. It appears that April was the last time I wrote.
A good friend of mine asked me the other day why I have not posted anything for such a long time.
Time just gets away from us sometimes.
Recently, however, I have returned to school, to work on my Master's in Post Secondary Education in Psychology. Oh no, you might think, a lawyer who thinks they can teach psychology.
Don't worry, ladies and gents, I never passed the bar exam, so I never officially became a lawyer. So, now, maybe I will be able to teach, which is something I dearly love.
Wanted to share my discovery of a great book that I have found. It is called: The Intellectual Devotional, by David S. Kidder and Noah D. Oppenheim.
The book is broken down like this: Monday-History; Tuesday-Literature; Wednesday-Visual Arts; Thursday-Science; Friday-Music; Saturday-Philosophy; and Sunday-Religion.
Yeah, Saturday is traditionally a day for philosophy.
We all have our interests and I think one of them should universally be to step outside of our own "safety zones". I want to learn all I can about topics I think I know something about, and yet explore other topics as well. What I love about this book is that it is much more than just "trivia". Not the type of reading one does while taking a trip to the home "library", or "ladies room", as I call it (in public places, and polite conversation).
So, back to school, I go, trying something different in life. I must thank my parents for telling me to "look it up"!!!!!!
Would you guess I was one of those kids who asked, "Why is the sky blue? Why does it rain? Why does it get dark? Why do we not fall off of a spinning planet?"
Do all children ask why?
Do all parents tell them why?
For all of the years I slacked off at school, and fought going, I am making up for it now.....tenfold. There are worse things.
