I've let my pens dry out again. It's been so long since I just wrote; oddly, the keyboard suits me better now. Another change.
Everywhere, people are making resolutions, and at How to Save the World, Dave is doing the imagination exercise. This exercise -- imagine yourself in the future, one year, or five years -- has been useful for me in the past; but now I resist. It's disappointment that I resist, I think -- even though I've not been disappointed when I've done this in years (many years) past.
Still, I managed a list that can be imagined without reference to fatigue, or illness -- which does not matter, really; which need not intrude on small pleasures. All that matters is that I value my own creativity enough -- for it to be -- enough.

I recently joined Brainstorms, an online community, which did a New Year exercise called Daypix, in which we recorded our days photographically from Saturday through Monday. People from all around the world participated; folks in Australia complaining of heat, and those in California dealing with floods.
It was good and timely exercise for me, as I've been lax with the camera lately. I enjoyed it very much. Several folks commented on how nice it is to get to know someone this way; I'm thinking of putting together an album from those days to post here.
And, speaking of resolutions, I realize that all of my sites need attention.
It's on my list.
May we all do well with our lists this year.

The picture is a crack up!
Good luck with your resolutions! I'm still trying to project myself into the end of the month. Five years would be real fun!!

What a wonderful idea. I've been a shutterbug since I was around 8, but don't get out much to do the outside photos anymore. One reason I so so many self-portrait haigas or strange graphics.
