Beginning again often requires us to relearn what we thought we knew, and add a whole new set of tools to our bag of tricks.  Thank God an old dog can indeed learn new tricks.

For me it's the computer thing!!!  I know how to do the basics.  I can turn a computer on and off.  I can read my email, play a game or two and access Bing to do a web search. That's where my expertise stops. Stopped...until the other day.  Until I wanted more than I had.  Until I began to grow...again.

You see we never really stop growing.  We get stuck in how we define this process.  So we're getting older, big deal!  I see my daughter struggling to find herself at the tender age of 18.  Life has dealt her some hard knocks, but she has yet to develop the awareness that she will end up exactly where she needs to be.  She has the skills to move into her future, but she hasn't yet learned to trust herself.  She is green...I am gold...age has its perks.
