7 1/2 habits

My hardest habit is always setting goals - my priorities shift often and I'm a strong believer in serendipity. Sometimes the chance encounter leads in the right direction. This is not what I started out to do - my BA is in El Ed, then I went off into a number of careers and jobs, all of which I learned from, then I did another BA, then I ended up in a library. If I had stuck to that early goal, I wouldn't be a librarian and wouldn't have brought the experiences I had along with me.

The easiest is being a life-long learner (see above). I had good examples - my mother and my little sister got their GEDs at the same time, my father earned licenses in different trades most of his life. I've been self-educated in several fields, and I figure I'll do several more before I push up the daisies - or push chickens out of mailboxes (you Ohio folks are a little strange.....)

I always want to be a newbie at something!
