“Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.”
Dennis Waitley
It is interesting all the “new” things I’ve been noticing lately. Funny how being forced to slow down and stay close to home brings a fresh perspective on so many things that you’ve overlooked for so long. There are some silver linings like long after dinner walks with family that are at least some small light in what is looking like a generally dark stretch ahead. Thanks for reading.
Be well and stay safe!
