Week 3, Thing #5 Flickr

Believe it or not, this was my first time viewing Flickr. It's incredible. I could spend days/weeks just looking at the photos, reading the comments, looking at the tags, and following the links. This photo is called "Secret 24: I love reading" by Elail213. I couldn't resist. I picked the photo before learning what is was labeled. There are numerous photos showing hearts made from book pages but this one caught my fancy. Tomorrow I'll explore Flickr some more.

Week 2, Thing #3

The one habit of the 7-1/2 lifelong learning habits that I find to be the hardest for me is setting a goal and formulating a plan to achieve it. I too often start with a vague idea of what I would like to achieve. Formulating an effective, efficient, long-range plan then becomes difficult. On the positive side, it does give me a chance to really think about what it is that I want to do, examining the idea from all sides.
The habit I find the easiest is viewing problems as challenges. I love the intellectual challenge that problems pose. I know the answer is out there, I just need to examine the problem from every angle and sometimes inside out to find it.

Week 2, Thing #2

After easily setting up my blog, I became very frustrated when I couldn't access it several days later. I tried everything then went back to reading the Help file. I finally figured out that I was using the wrong email address. I access Google Docs using several email addresses so I had to find the right one for my blog. Advice: write everything down as you go along.

Week 2, Thing#1

My very first blog. Setting it up was easier than I expected but now comes the hard part - thinking of what I would like to say.

This is the beginning of my trip. I look forward to seeing and learning new things. I love being a tourist on land and sea so I'm hoping I'll like traveling in the virtual world as well.
