Thing #6: More Photo Fun...

Ok, this wasn't so bad. I took the photo of a painting in the branch, downloaded it onto the computer with the help of one of my faaaaavorite co-workers (thanks!) and successfully uploaded it to Flickr with the OCLwebthings tag. Much more fun than the last exercise! Now onto scanning :-)
PS...does it not look like the white horse behind the little girl is about to take a chunk out of her arm? :-P

Thing # 5- Flickr (or NOT SO FUN!!! Photo)

Everything is going quite well with Flickr except for the very small fact that I cannot get it to merge nicely with my blog! Some sort of stinking google error keeps coming up, but you know what? I'm going to treat this problem as a challenge (ok I'm almost making myself gag haha) and work around it...cheers!


Anywhooo, here goes nothing. Here is a picture (or a link, whatever I can get to work) of 9 friends displaying their fierce Australian Spirit by spelling out their country with burning sticks and their own movement. I chose this photo because I am in love with Australia and it's people and am planning a trip for 2010 (yes, I need that much time to save!)
....I will find a way to combine flickr and my blog by the time this is over!

Should be 8 and 1/2 habits...

...because they missed one! An open mind is essential to lifelong learning. Remind me to go out and buy myself a toolbox when I'm done blogging so I can whip out my "kit" whenever I need it.

Lifelong learning is a beautiful thing and one of the most valuable things one can ever commit themselves to.

The easiest of the steps for me is that last little half step-Play!! Far too many people forget to have a little fun every now and then, with the end result being a bunch of over worked, stressed out individuals running around. Yep, these are also the same folks who also forget to stop and BREATHE.

None of the steps seemed really difficult as they all prove vaild, but I suppose a more challenging one would be the first step: Begin with the end in mind. I love to have goals, but sometimes the pressure of having them will send me in the opposite direction-farther and farther away from where I want myself to be. This is sort of indirect and subconscious of course, but that's what usually ends up happening to me if I look at the "big" picture when I'm starting something out.

This post rolled out a little easier than expected considering I'm blog-phobic!
