Lauren is learning to knit (her babysitter knits and gave knitting needles to Lauren…is that what they are called? Knitting needles?). She is also taking an art class focusing on drawing animals and nature. Dave is learning how to make videos for church. I’m learning how to refinish wooden furniture. The wooden trunk I am working on is my first and will be my last refinishing project! I’m also learning to cook various green vegetables. This week’s new vegetable is broccolini.
Broccolini, aka baby broccoli. Yes, it is this green!
Today’s More About You Monday question is: Are you learning anything new?
I am learning to get up in the morning to bike and walk at the Y – - not so bad once I make myself get up and GO!! Says a lot that Lana can keep my inspired to go
I’m very proud of you!
I’m in training to become a sacristant at church. (Setting up for Mass).
I’ve only volunteered to do this for the 12:15 Mass on Tuesdays during Lent.
I’m taking lots of notes. I’ll need lots of prayers.

Hi Monica! We miss you lots.
I’m learning to fit exercise into my day. Who knew finding time to walk a mile would be as hard as finding time to do everything else I have to do
I thought that a mile would be easy
Exercise, ahhhh, yes! My mother-in-law has been faithfully going to the gym daily (Yay Grace!) and I’ve made it several times and I feel SO much better after a good workout. But, yes, it’s hard to find the time.
I am trying to learn to stop making mistakes at work. I think there are one million different mistakes that can be made in my job. We never have to repeat a mistake since there are so many more available.
I’m learning the significance of reading His Word every day. I’m guessing most faithful followers of Christ already have this regimen. Been it’s one easily misplaced for me and what I’m finding is awesome…. Tasty, filling, awakening, new levels… When I first read this question of the week, I was dismayed to think I wasn’t learning anything. However, my prayers have been that I will rise higher and deeper in God’s plan. Indeed, I’m learning and gaining….
One more celebration to recall and share…. 42 years ago tonight I became engaged to marry Bobby Short. What a difference that made….
How sweet! Engaged on Valentine’s!
yes, knitting needles.
we need pics of your refinishing project lana! i always wanted to try something like that.
what am i learning? hmm.. to finish projects that i have started. and to relax and not fill my days with things to do.
I took a “before” picture but I’m not quite to an “after” picture yet! Hopefully after this weekend.
I know it’s not still Monday, but I’m just now seeing this…so gonna respond anyway!
I’m learning more of a life’s lesson. There are times in all our lives where we just aren’t alright. I’m learning that it’s okay to not always be okay.
If you’re not okay right now, have faith – things will not always be the way they are right now, forever.
That is SO true. There are very, very difficult seasons of life but they do pass.
Hi Lana, hi Dave, Been a while I know, writing isn’t comming as easy as it used to but I do pray for y’all lots. My wife met a fella in rehab and wanted to give him a work book she used years ago. We decided to buy 4 of them, never know, and I am using one. It is called “experiencing God” It’s really cool. I hope all of you have a great week end. God bless, Joe
Oh my, Joe, I did that workbook course. It’s absolutely cool. One of my favorite experiences, actually. Thanks for bringing it back to my mind and heart…. Good to hear from you, too, Joe. Indeed, it has been a while. Miss your postings….
Good to see you Joe!!!!!!!
Hi Joe! So good to hear from you! I’m glad you’re working on “Experiencing God.” Two things stand out as I think of that workbook, one is the story of the bicycle the man bought for his son and the verse, “Some trust in horses and some in chariots but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” I think of the verse often, replacing horses and chariots with whatever I’m trying to trust in. It is a very powerful verse.
I am learning a very great deal! Maybe that’s not so reassuring since I’m in my final year and will (hopefully) be a doctor in under 6 months. But there is so much to learn before then.
On a more personal level, I am learning how to deal with death, how to watch people die, how to stop resuscitating, and how not to take it all home at the end of the day… it’s been a difficult few days, with a great deal of learning – though I hadn’t thought about it like that until now.
On a lighter note, I am re-learning to play the harp as a good friend is getting married soon and wants me to play in the church, for everyone to listen while the couple go to sign the register. So I have fun learning as well as serious learning.
