Learn About

Learn About by MattPenning.
This macro of tiny print on an invitation to a local computer industry seminar, taken with my Panasonic LX3 has two words which struck me today.

I was really just taking macro photos of everything during my lunch. After I reviewed this, The in-focus words Learn About resonated with me.

I've been doing a lot of learning about life.

I've been doing that learning for all my life, but I've really delved into me and what makes me tick over the last five years. The motivation is my determination to get my weight and subsequently my health in line with my desire to live to a very old age with a very sharp mind and the best physical shape I can manage, given my earlier excesses.

Living is all about learning.

One thing I've learned, is that I do better living and learning with less of everything to weigh me down.

So these spare words, open a wealth of meaning for me.

Yes Matt, a beautiful thing about getting older is accepting the so much we don't know. The possibilities to learn about keep expanding, ever. Beautiful.

I agree Matt, living is a total learning experience...we must be open to all that the world has to offer and to embrace all the facets of life to truly be a complete human being.

When things weigh us down it is hard to fully capture all that life has to offer, with that said I too am trying to get out from under the weight of all the stuff in my house, not an easy chore but I know that many of the things that Jeff had (tools for everything, lots of yard equipment and such) I will never use, so I am going to start finding new homes for these items so that I can apprieciate more fully the items that do have special meaning for me.

Take care and thanks for the words of wisdom!
