"What did you learn today?"
I ask my son that question every day when he gets home from kindergarten, and since he's only five, he actually answers me—although I suspect that when he gets a little older, the always-popular "nothing" will be his go-to response. ☺
Yesterday, as he told me about all the things his teacher had taught him, I started to think about the things the day had taught me. Although my new knowledge might not be as exciting as my son's, I do learn a few things every day. Yesterday taught me that:
1. I don't have to give up on a recipe like this one just because I'm out of cream of mushroom soup. Instead, I can make my own. It's easy to do, and there's no worry about canned soup and BPA.
2. Sometimes it's just too cold outside to make the effort to go to the grocery store, even if I really, really want chocolate.
3. It's fun to discover animal tracks in the snow. (My kids taught me this one!)
4. It's heartbreaking to see a Facebook friend receive happy birthday messages from people who don't realize that she recently died.
5. The new season of Project Runway starts tonight! (I'm a little excited. Can you tell?)
What things have you learned recently?
Wishing you a wonderful Thursday!
