Learn



Every day we have the opportunity to learn something new - I don't mean anything big; but, small things that you might find interesting.

We are able each and every day to expand our knowledge, our minds and our abilities - take advantage of that.

It could be a small fact - here is one I will share with you; on January 1, 2013 the Emancipation Proclamation was celebrated having been signed 150 years ago.  The small fact is not that it was 150 years old; but, that President Lincoln did not sign it until 2PM that afternoon because his hand hurt from shaking the hands of many people that morning.  President Lincoln did not want his signature to be shaky as he feared people would read into that - when he finally did sign it was with a flourish.
