"Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. "
-Gandhiji
Growing up I had an undying thirst for knowledge. Why did that fade as I grew up? Why does being an adult mean that learning is any less fun or satisfactory? Perhaps it goes back to my parents. I thought they knew EVERYTHING. School was for learning and when you become a mother, you start teaching and stop learning. Honestly, that is one of my biggest pet peeves. My thoughts and opinions are no less real than anyone else's, including my parents. Everyone can learn something in any situation, including parents. ESPECIALLY parents. I get to learn this with my son! He has so much to teach me and I ALWAYS have room to grow and learn. I want to be the best me I can be! So thank you, Gandiji, for this lesson today!
