Somebody once said that he learns something new every day. Then someone else said that there’s nothing new under the sun. So, which is it? I honestly think it’s both. We are constantly learning, even us old dogs, and even those new tricks. But what we’re learning are things that have been known by others before. They’re just new to us because we hadn’t experienced them previously. Lately I’ve been thinking about the new things I’ve learned lately.
1. Some people are genuinely kind with no ulterior motives, even if they don’t know you from Adam.
2. You really can get to know someone through Facebook messages in a way you can’t in person.
3. Cats can take “people medicine” to help them recover from illness.
4. The best blog entries can be random ones (I read three amazing blog posts after clicking on “Random”).
5. I have a completely different “television” voice than either my regular voice or my phone voice.
But there’s a learning curve built in to all this new knowledge. Our brains can only hold so much information, so I’m a firm believer that some things we’ve previously known shift around or even out of our brains when the new stuff comes in. Which is a shame if it’s true because we couldn’t possibly decide which things drop out and which things stay. So, I say write everything down that you think you might need in the future, even if at the moment it is ingrained in your brain. Everything isn’t like riding a bike. You might not recall it at some point, and then you’ll be kicking yourself that it became the one that got away (Yes, shamelessly plugging Katy Perry).
I have also learned recently that I tend to monopolize conversations, so I’m going to let you talk now. What have you learned lately?

1. People will believe anything, if you claim it was foretold in scriptures or by Nostradamus. Some of the readings, of course, are subject to interpretation.
2. people will eat anything, if you say it is a dietary supplement.
3. Most people do not believe in coincidence, unless it suits their world view to do so.
4. Celebrities are regular people ith too much time and money on their hands.
5. Bloggers are a noble breed, generally exceptions from the four observations listed above.
Dietary supplements are HUGE these days, as are any and all pills, actually. I am shocked by how big they’ve gotten lately!
