What is one thing that you would like to learn?
You want me to narrow this down to only one thing? You don’t ask for much, do you?
I’m one of those people who wants to learn new things constantly. I was in my early 30s when I learned to needlepoint. Computers didn’t enter my life until my late 30s. I got my AS degree in Computer Networking when I was in my 40s. It wasn’t until my late 50s when I decided to start writing fiction and learn how to self-publish.
None of these were plotted far in advance. Like so much of my life, they just happened. So, as I edge closer to retirement, what’s next?
I don’t have any grand plans. The idea of having time to sit back, spend time with my hubby, read, relax, and concentrate on improving my writing sounds good. All those courses that I’ve never had the time to do will become a possibility.
Now, if I could snap my fingers and suddenly have a new skill without needing any practice, that’s a different story. I’ve tried, without much luck, to learn two different languages. (French and Russian.) I learned enough to pass the classes, but not enough to feel proficient in either. If I had choose only one, I’d pick Russian, just for the joy of being different.
If languages are out of the question, I’d like to pick up archery again. That’s another skill I started to learn and never become proficient in. I’d have to start from scratch because it’s been so long since I’ve held a bow.
How about you? What’s one thing you would like to learn? Tell me in the comments.
Now, I’m off to find out what the other authors are talking about.
In the meantime, hope your holidays are happy, and stay safe!
