A Year for Learning

a 2 z meme with Patty Wysong at Patterings.
Welcome to this week's a 2 z
and the letter L.

This has been a year full of learning for me. Learning from some very unexpected places...


Our garden. I was out-voted 6 to 1 and we had a large garden that did well, despite the drought. I learned many lessons from this garden I didn't want.

One was how much I had forgotten about canning. LoL.

Canning was another lesson all its own... one that's not done yet.

Then I was able to visit my sister in Puerto Rico... Wonderful discoveries turned into lessons--object lessons, the kind I remember longer. Sea glassing was one. Blue glass has always been my favorite and each little piece I was able to find and hold onto is special.





And shell hunting was another learning time for me. What a treasure to find the beach loaded with Sea Urchins.  These things have long fascinated me, and to find them, whole, on the beach amazed me. What amazed me even more was how they came to be on the beach, and then their wholeness, in spite of it all, amazed me even more. Yes, what I learned is a post all its own...




And this fella has taught me many things. I'm constantly learning him.


After 30+ years of wearing glasses, I went a week without them (hence no glasses in the pic above) because a wave taught me yet another lesson when it crept up on me and stole my glasses. Really made me feel silly because I KNOW how waves are prone to do that, even when you're only in up to your calves. It was another lesson I learned while sea glassing.



So tell me, what are some things that you've learned from this year?

  1. You really HAVE learned a ton this year!
    Most of my learning, as you know, has been writing-related, and it's been amazing. Lots of life lessons too, of course :)

  2. We're always learning, aren't we! That's a good thing. What's the saying... we learn something new every day. For me, sometimes it's SEVERAL somethings a day. And if I lost my glasses... well...it wouldn't be good, because I can't see without them! ;-]
