What is the last thing you learned?

What does mermaid hair have to do with learning new things? Read this:

I spent much of a beautiful morning outside tending to my patio garden. So refreshing! so relaxing! But there’s more …

Yesterday I had a medical procedure. By afternoon while I was helping prepare for a big birthday party, I tired out before the rest of my Fam’. So I sat on the sofa. I was surrounded by my granddaughter’s princess dolls. Ariel in particular had very thick, very messy, tangled hair. With a sturdy doll comb, I worked on the doll’s hair.

After combing and combing, I found that my whole body was relaxing. I learned that small repetitive physical actions help my soul and body rest! That’s my new learning experience today. I’m still tired. I think I’ll work in my garden coloring book.
