Just Plain Bill

Voice from the grave

How’s that for an attention-getting title for a blog?

While talking with an insurance adjuster the other day, I was asked how long I would be teaching. Her record showed I’m presently up in years and beyond the typical retirement age. I said, “I feel like I’ll be able to teach right up to the time when I won’t be able to talk…maybe even beyond the time marking the end of this mortal journey!”

I’m blessed with the passionate interest, capacity, and belief that one of the greatest gifts one can give to others is the enhancement of their knowledge, skills and belief in themselves. I treasure that I have “teacher” as a prominent title in my legacy.

With the advent of the Internet and all of its powers of communication, involvement, and connection through an ever-growing number of channels, I’m enabled to connect and engage with an unlimited number of learners – regardless of my “age.”

It’s a glorious time to be alive, to be able to take advantage of the tsunami of technological developments that come to us each day. The challenge of “keeping up” with “what’s new” helps me eagerly look forward to each day.

Finally, with the “permanence” of what I write on the Internet, I know that at least my written word is somewhat immortal. (Thanks to Allyn Geer, my editor, for helping make those words proper, and correct!)
