Always something to learn.

The more I learn, the more I learn how little I know. -- Socrates

The more you know, the less you understand. -- Lao-Tzu

A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

These little bits of sayings have come to mind as I have been doing quite a bit of learning lately and not all of it pleasant. I won't dwell on that part as I have just had some good news.

I have always prided myself that language was one of my stronger points especially since people apparently seem to like to read what I write. I must admit though than since I have used the Internet my spelling and grammar has drastically gone down hill. Indeed I wrote a Blog on that some time ago.

I also have a thirst for knowledge and love to learn new things and at one time I joked that I was a professional student. However due to health problems not to mention a shortage of spondulix I have had a break from studying. A short while ago I spotted an offer for a writing course. Since I need my writing and editing skills brushing up I thought I would sign up.


I am already learning great new stuff and relearning old stuff. After spending lots of time reading the sections of the module and a hell of a deal of note taking (Aargh I almost forgot how much writing with a pen can hurt if you over do it my poor wrist and puddies.) I am pleased to say I have passed the first part and can now move on to the second. Sorry this is such a short blog but I am seriously beginning to lose feeling in my right hand. Well that is apart from the bits that hurt.



Onwards and upwards
