Learning Something New.

Sometimes it's very easy to get inspired, and sometimes it's tough. But this weekend my eleven month old daughter inspired me with her new trick... walking!

She's not quite walking on her own yet, but she's pushing a little "truck" around and started walking on her own.

I watched and guided her around our living room and kitchen and she was so pleased with herself. She's been standing for a while now and props herself up on furniture, but has always resorted to all-fours for transport purposes, because it's still quicker.

But after this watershed moment on Sunday maybe she'll try two feet instead.

It was inspiring because here was someone who was so pleased that she had learned something new, and was so keen to keep practicing her new skill all over the house. She was laughing and screaming with delight, as were her parents who had the joy of witnessing our little ray of sunshine in full flight.

Learning a new skill, or trying something for the first time is likely to get anyone excited and make them feel invigorated. And there's no time like today to try something new, to make us feel young again.

We can learn something from anyone in this world, even my eleven month old daughter!
