There’s nothing like waking up to the aches and flu-like symptoms to start a weekend off! I took a sick-day off work today and I’m hoping these symptoms get better instead of worse! So while I’m resting and trying to feel better I visited a few websites that always seem to inspire me, but I haven’t gone to for quite a while. I know they always have good stuff, but life is life and I don’t normally have hours to spend on the computer 🙂 I know you know what I’m sayin’!

So!…I’ve rediscovered a few:

I think I’ve mentioned this site before, but it’s such a motivating site for my photography efforts. Check it out if you haven’t yet….it’s called Light Stalking. Good stuff!

Now, you all know I LOVE doing or learning or reading NEW things. I’m also interested in how I can accelerate learning. That subject is a fascinating one for me. So today I took the time to watch 5D Secrets of Accelerated Learning. It was about an hour long, but I really liked it. Loved, loVED, LOVED Tanya Moore’s accent! Good stuff!

And lastly, I found a NEW app I want to use. It’s call Stuck on Earth and I heard about it from the Digital Photography School’s newsletter that came in my email. I was reading the article about 5 Creative Ways to Find New Locations to Photograph and they recommended this app. Sounds very cool, so I’m going to download it soon.

Have a GREAT day! Learn or DO something NEW!

ps. You may know that my goal is to post photos from my own stash whenever possible, but sorry, I don’t have a picture of me being sick (thank goodness….what an awful sight!) So in honor of the snow that appeared on the ground this morning, I’m posting a my favorite winter scene from last year.

I’ve been holed up in my computer room today…trying to stay out of the way of the construction people re-doing my kitchen. Whoot! Can’t wait for that project to be finished! My kitchen is 21+ years old and was needing some serious attention. I’ll be sure to post some pics later on. But….today I was doing a bit of surfing/browsing/wasting time as I stayed out of the worker’s way. One blog I was reading linked to this post on “How To Be Interesting“. 🙂 Interesting huh???

I think I’ve determined that I should be a VERY interesting person, because I’m interested in TONS of stuff (that’s a requirement, according to Mr Davies). However, the second requirement for being interesting is being able to share. Well…..hmmm…that is NoT my strong point 😦 I’m TERRIBLE at tooting my own horn. I’d way rather listen to other people than share my own opinion…(because I already know my opinion, right?…I’d like to know theirs!) I have a friend {Darci} that tells me she needs a crow-bar to get anything out of me. Ok, ok…I need to do better at sharing. Yet this blog is a way to do that (see item #2 of Mr Davies list), so I’m on the right track. How many of the ten items listed do you do?

Well, the construction men just left…time to get something accomplished! Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW today!

p.s. The photo of the swimmer is just a random pic…(my son as he did a triathlon a few weeks ago). I thought it would be INTERESTING to make you wonder the relevance of it. Ha!
