Learning

The daily writing prompt asks – What skill would you like to learn?

I’m always learning how to be happier.

Learning to sleep better would be a nice trick.

We are all about to learn how to overcome a very difficult time in this county’s history.

I’m always learning how to be more patient. I practice this by going for a drive and not beating people who can’t drive each day.

I’d like to learn to play like keyboardist Billy Powell and guitar like Steve Gains.

The beat

What skill would you like to learn? – A Daily writing prompt is looking ahead again.

I started on this pursuit earlier this year working on learning photography, carving/etching, drawing, and writing. As you might have noticed the writing needs a lot of work. So does the carving and drawing. I’ve got a decent start on photography but there is much to discover and learn.

I’m not looking to these as a future profession. I’m just interested in getting good at them and producing some work.

If I’m graced with many more years I’ve always thought about learning to be a drummer.
