LEARNING... "WHAT MATTERS MOST" In our degrading society, showing a child good values is not enough. Parents must show children opportunities to practice good, ethical values - that should be a foundation for learning "what matters most".

This is a photo of my little girl, Ella as she goes through the motions of learning how to ride a bike . Faced with her fears, she rests in the thought that Dad is there to help her. And with that thought she gets her strength and her confidence. Here's to her dad and all the dads who take the time to be one!

My niece found a caterpillar while we were at the lake. She asked me about it's life-cycle, diet, life span and even it's migration habits. I was very impressed by her willingness to obtain information on her interests.

LEARNING

Quotes
Ask the experienced rather than the learned.
Arabic Proverb   -
A good education is not so much one which prepares a man to succeed in the world, as one which enables him to sustain a failure.
Bernard Iddings Bell Episcopalian Cleric  -
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Psychiatrist, Author  (1926-2004);
When your views on the world and your intellect are being challenged and you begin to feel uncomfortable because of a contradiction you've detected that is threatening your current model of the world...pay attention. You are about to learn something.
William H. Drury, Jr. Professor, Author  (1921-1992);
Ideas are only lethal if you suppress and don't discuss them. Ignorance is not bliss, it's stupid. Banning books shows you don't trust your kids to think and you don't trust yourself to be able to talk to them.
Anna Quindlen Journalist, Novelist  (born 1953);
