Learning New Things

Designing a new website this weekend reminded me of the quote "I've learned that I still have a lot to learn" by Maya Angelou. As I struggled with the images and got writer's block with the text I had to practice my mindful breathing and lit a candle to help keep me calm. I've spent all week practicing breathing and calming techniques with students at my school as they battle with screen fatigue, lack of social interaction and isolation. It has been nearly 11 months since our school district moved to remote schooling and we are tired. We are all so very tired.

So how do we hang on? How can learning help keep us going? In these winter months we need to look for those little moments of joy, those little moments of learning. Learning lifts your spirits, gives you energy and makes you feel a little stronger. Maybe a new book, a new recipe, a new art technique, or a new soccer skills. What could you learn today?
