I was waiting in line at the post office and enjoying watching others in line. A mom with one arm through the handle of a "baby basket", packages in the other and a toddler; maybe 2 or 3 at her side. The boy was pointing to pictures of stamps on a poster on the wall which was at his eye level (which I found interesting that it was displayed so low on the wall) and he was asking his mother, "What's that?" and "What's that?" as she immediately responded to each stamp picture, "Tiger", "Ice Cream" etc. I laughed and told the mother that she was doing very well; and that she got them all right (as if the young tot was her teacher instead of the reverse)! Roles in life reverse soon enough and this was a moment to not only cherish but to think about. When we become older, this practice of asking questions seems to "go away" and we settle for what we already know. Every day should be a day of questioning, even if you aren't asking people but are doing your own research online or in other areas.
Do you like to learn; every day? Here's a source of daily inspiration and contemplation:
