Week 2, Thing 4 - Register Blog

My blog is now offically registered, and within a few days will appear on the system list of Maryland 23 blogs. Is this a good thing? From a learning standpoint, yes. From the standpoint that others will now have easy access to my ramblings, I'm not so sure!!

I am happy to note that the bandwidth has been with me thus far, although I have not really done much, except listen to the program's podcasts, that might tax the network. Things might get a bit more dicey from here on, but keeping the 7 1/2 Habits in mind, I will strive mightily to look upon any problems as challenges to be overcome. Have I mentioned that this Habit is the one I find the most difficult to practice????

Looking to the future, and staying positive...

Week 2, Thing 3: Setting up Blog

My blog is obviously set up, and I've been playing with it a bit. I was able to add a photo with little trouble, and over time hope to glitz it up a bit.

I've happily had the time this morning to really get into this, catch up on the time I've lost since registering for Maryland 23 Things. The next step is to actually register this blog with BCPL, announcing my presence to the system.

Week 1 Thing 2: 7 1/2 Habits

I'm back, on the same day no less (making up for lost time).

As this post is intended to be about the 7 1/2 Habits, here it goes...


I would have to say that "Play" is the easiest of the habits for me as I innately gravitate toward peasurable pursuits. Not that that distinguishes me from many people! If I were to choose one of the Habits as the most personally difficult, I'd have to say it is "View problems as challenges". My usual habit when faced with a problem is to internally panic, although I typically will rebound after a short time and then tackle the problem with a reasonable amount of success.

Week 1, Thing 1

Well, I have now tentatively dipped my toe into the 21st century! I'm not sure of the temperature just yet, but I guess I will figure that out eventually.

So far things have gone rather well, moderately difficult, but I've made it this far; I'm actually looking forward to working on this project. Although, I must admit that I am somewhat of a blog sceptic, the thought of gaining a deeper knowledge of the way all of this works is exciting.
