Things 3 & 4

Just a quick post now that I have registered and begun working on the tracking log. I am looking forward to decorating my blog page but I think that will come with future 'things' and I don't want to jump ahead. But I want pictures and an avatar also!

Things 1 & 2

I feel like I'm late getting started so I need to double up. I read the "7 Habits" so the concept here is not too different. I try to use that program as much as I can because I do have the propensity to sidetrack and I am so easily distracted. Since I have been using the program for several years (I have separate to-do lists for each part of my life right now.), I found the first habit to be the easiest for me. I know to set goals and then to backtrack and break them down into doable parts with short-term deadlines. The hardest habit for me is #4 - "have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner". Somedays my brain justs hurts with all the new things it has to take in!
So as my goal to work on, I picked something that I see so many people doing and I have fought against learning for so long - using the digital camera. I have been completely happy with my old 35 mm camera that prints the date on the front of the picture and besides, I am not that much of a picture-taker anyway (except for my garden). So I am planning to borrow my daughter's camera and just get started. I figure there are a lot of people that could help me!
