Thing 2

The easiest of The 7 and 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits is #7 1/2, Play! I like to play and it comes very easily to me. I like to learn new things as well but I don't have the confidence to write about it and post where everyone can read it. This leads to the hardest of the 7 1/2 habits for me, have confidence in yourself as a competent effective learner. I think that viewing problems as challenges is also hard for me and that has to do with life experiences more than anything else.

Thing 1

I want to learn about and experience all of the latest technologies. This promises to be an easy, guided introduction to many new tools that I would otherwise find too intimidating, confusing, and time consuming. I need help when trying to learn something new and I am trying to be more organized.

Today is not one of my better days. My jaw hurts from last Thursday's bone graft and gives the phrase, "Grin and Bear It" a whole new meaning for me. Trying to be creative on a usual day is easy compared to trying to do this today. I will keep trudging along. I find that setting up the blog was a little confusing but not that hard. I wasn't sure what to do, when, but having Alice, Sue, and Judy around really helped. They are far ahead of me because I stopped to go to the doctor's office.
