Daily Question, December 28

What is something new that I have learned recently?

  • Maurice Frank

    How to do mail merge with Gmail from a spreadsheet. I had to send dozens of similar emails and this made the task more efficient. I had never done this before.
    More practical than spiritual or personal, but still meaningful to me.

    • Mary Pat

      I really am glad for you! I am a self taught computer person, and still have not learnt how to do a spreadsheet. You reminded me that is something I had wanted to learn how to do, so I will add it to my list of things I really want to learn-thanks!

    I have learnt that I can cope with, and even enjoy, lots of different people coming to help me. Three months ago I had to change to a new care agency. In that time I have met 32 different care staff as opposed to the familiar 5 or 6 that I was used to. Having an illness that causes extreme fatigue and weakness I found it terribly stressful with so many people coming and going; but I have settled in and got to know most of them. They are all really kind and I now enjoy seeing different people an...

Having an illness that causes extreme fatigue and weakness I found it terribly stressful with so many people coming and going; but I have settled in and got to know most of them. They are all really kind and I now enjoy seeing different people and hearing their news and I have learnt to carefully pace myself so I don’t get overwhelmed.

      May your health improve, Butterfly. Blessings and healing to you.

    I have learned that I posses more inner strength and courage than I ever imagined possible.

    I thought others knew that heating up real chocolate milk was better than water mixed with powdered packets of fragmented ingredients. It is a decadent treat, and brought smiles to many on Christmas Day.

    About once a week while doing some routine chore, my body reminds me that I am not getting any younger. Whose big idea was that, anyway?

    I did learn something new about myself. I had a major breakdown with regards to seasonal depression about 3 years ago. I still have shame around it. Been dealing with seasonal depression my whole life. Since then, I've been diligently taking care of my health - physically and mentally. Baby steps until they became habits. This year was different. After all that work, this is the first holiday season I actually felt joy. No breakdown whatsoever. I learned that every bit of effort amounted to some...

    I did learn something new about myself. I had a major breakdown with regards to seasonal depression about 3 years ago. I still have shame around it. Been dealing with seasonal depression my whole life. Since then, I’ve been diligently taking care of my health – physically and mentally. Baby steps until they became habits. This year was different. After all that work, this is the first holiday season I actually felt joy. No breakdown whatsoever. I learned that every bit of effort amounted to something I could celebrate.

    The food of Iran.
    A while ago I met a young woman from Iran. She studies here in the Netherlands. She lives a few minutes walk from me. I was invited by her to eat with her. One of her biggest hobbies is cooking. I’m lucky with that. I am not a star in the kitchen myself. She prepared a very tasty meal for me. She’s going to give me a cooking class on New Year’s Day. We will cook and eat together. And we’re both looking forward to it.

    • Kevin

      Most of my friends, Christine, are smart enough to know that they should keep me far away from the kitchen. It’s safer all around when they do! 🙂

      • Christine

        She doesn’t know yet that I’m a little clumsy, Kevin 🤭. I will try to be careful with knife, pot and pan.

    • Michele

      That’s great discovering new foods you like and learning new cultures:)
