I have no schedule for writing a blog post. Whenever something comes to me, in whatever method that something chooses, that’s when I’ll write.
I’ve been getting a “good word of the day” email from alphaDictionary for many years. The words that speak to me (hmmm, isn’t it neat that I’d use that phrase?) I put in a folder. I need to go through that folder one of these days and make a list.
Today’s good word is opsimath, which means “a person who undertakes study late in life.” That word spoke very loud to me. Here’s why…
I didn’t have very many chances during my childhood to do much learning. I’ll not go into detail, but suffice to say it wasn’t a normal childhood. Before I knew what was happening I found myself enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and I was only 17-years old.
The learning I did back then, for the most part, was strictly for getting through a phase of my life that I didn’t have much control over. Sometimes I wonder how I made it through, but I did.
Thanks to today’s good word I am pleased to call myself an opsimath. A pro-hobbyist photographer and musician too, and both tie in quite nicely with being an opsimath.
