THURSDAY’S THOUGHT…
Or as one lifelong learner says, “We base everything on the belief that our capacity to learn and grow does not decrease as our years increase. In fact, through learning and the adventures we embark upon, we actually embrace self-fulfillment.” Life doesn’t get any better than that!
