Problems

I'm thinking that I'm not in this boat alone. Viewing problems as challenges (#3 of the 7.5 Habits of Highly Successful Learners) has got to be the single biggest stumbling block to most people on life's highway (life's gravel road in the case of Montana). For those of us over fifty, #6 Using Technology to Your Advantage comes in a close second. For the easiest habit to embrace: play, be curious, and read (#7.5). Humans have such innate curiosity that I'm afraid the only people lacking it are those clinically depressed. And that is not meant to be flippant.

Picture Perfect

(Well, is this empowering, or what?) The reason that the sea turtle picture was chosen for my profile is not because I love turtle soup or sea food in general, but because I am incredibly slow setting up this blog, or for that matter, dealing with any form of technology. (Ask my seventeen-year-old how fast I return a text message.) Hmmm, I've just been advised by an informed patron that sea turtles are in fact not slow in the water. However, this just validates another of my characteristics: inaccuracy. And in that vein, I hope to continue. :)
