One year on

It's been twelve months since I started this blog, so here are 5 things I have learnt along the way....

1. I am not very good at writing, and It's not getting any better. I struggle to get words down most of the time, some posts take me three days to write and I'm not even saying that much. English has never been my forte, the only part of English classes I enjoyed was reading the books, not actually writing about them. Sometimes ( often) I wonder why I am doing this!

2. My photographs are not always as professional as I would like, even though I took a course, and I don't have time for photoshop even if I knew how to do that!

3. Sometimes it's hard to focus on the good stuff in life when shit is happening, and the whole idea of this blog is not to record that stuff.

4. Technology can let you down big time.... Especially when your lap top's I, O,U and sometimes F keys don't work, or it shuts down completely mid way through a post. Might need a new computer....

5. I am not going to stop recording life's moments. When Jay asks me why I write this blog or take so many photos I reply " It's so when I'm old, I can remember who you are and what you did" he generally laughs or screws up his nose, but it's the truth. I have just finished reading "Still Alice" and it scares the shit out of me. I already struggle recalling parts of the girls younger years, thank god I have their photo albums tucked away to look at.

So after one year of plodding away on this online journal I have learnt a bit about my capabilities or lack of and how I want to continue the journey. Not sure how the next twelve months will go or what life will bring.... But we will see.

Till next time
