A Christmas Joy

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 by Gail Gifford
As I sit and watch the Bowl games on TV, I ponder over what happened in my life just last week.  I had a wonderful time as I ventured down to Nashville, Tennessee to visit my youngest daughter who works as a manager at Roast Inc.. It is the best coffee I have ever had. They roast their own beans and make each cup of craft coffee to your liking as you wait.  It is well worth the wait as it is so good, you will be hooked. So, if you are ever in the Nashville area, please look it up. I also spent a few days with my grandson who is almost five. We went ice skating one day which was really fun even if his legs didn't work right, so he says anyways.  Ice SkatingI remember learning how to ice skate when I was young, I remember that feeling and probably thought "what am I suppose to do on this one blade?" I am sure he probably thought the same as he could not keep himself upright for too long without the help of Grammy supporting him.  

The next day my daughter had off so the three of us went up to Cave City Kentucky to go through Mammoth Cave.  He had never been in a cave so I was not sure how he was going to be and my daughter was really young when she last went through.  It was about a two hour drive from Nashville but it went by fast as we stopped for a snack along the way. I am all about making these experiences FUN so he will want to do it again someday.  I pretty much have that attitude with everything.  Even when I attended Granite State College in Manchester New Hampshire, I was thinking how can I make this a fun experience.  It was easy as I met some really neat people to hang out with, study with and smile our way through one class after another.  Yep, learning can be fun and what you learn can enrich your life so much that the outcome is fun. I would love to go back and get my Master of Science Project Management degree someday.  School was fun and even though it was lots of hard work and time management skills, it was well worth it.  

For my grandson, skating and spelunking through the caves, were something new for him. If school is something you want to do, just do it. It may be new to you but you will never get that degree until you make that first step kind of just like my grandson learning to skate.
