Lifelong Learning

I had a small epiphany today. Have always perceived myself as a lifelong learner (Habit #2), but did not fully realize that my mom sees herself that way as well. She is just shy of 80 and neither of us can believe it. She informed me today that she had to quit her Spanish class because it was just too hard ... so after a friendly chat with a Hispanic waitress, she decided a personal tutor is a better idea. They begin Tuesday night.

It simply does not occur to her that it is too late to learn Spanish or that she is too old to learn Spanish. She is interested; therefore, she runs with the idea. She is also really good at my worst habit, i.e, play. Learning is fun. At least she makes it fun, anyway. She loves people and craves excitement. I am generally shyer and crave quiet time. No matter. We have this in common ... we love to learn.
