10 things on the 10th........

So over on Shimelle's Blog today is 10 things on the 10th.  When the New Year started this year I vowed not to make any New Year resolutions, instead I set a few 'goals'!  I just feel goals are bit more flexible.   Resolutions are made and then broken, goals I feel are ongoing - you can't really fail.  So my goals for this year included the usual stuff - being healthy and losing some weight, getting fit, spending more time with family and friends, learning more about photography, more time to scrapbook, to enjoy life and to start a blog.  So I felt this was an appropriate post after reading Katie the Scrapbook Lady's post where she talked about July being halfway through the year.  So what better time to focus on these goals again.  So here are my 10 goals for the rest of the year:

  • focus on the good things
  • being healthy
  • getting fit
  • spending time with family
  • spending time with Friends
  • learning more about photography
  • more time to scrapbook
  • learning to slow down and relax
  • keep developing blog
  • not to sweat the small stuff!




So there are my 10 things on the 10th this month.  What are your 10 things this month?

10 things.....

10THINGS  on the 10th of every month is a new monthly blogging event over on http://www.shimelle.com/ for participants of Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers.  This challenge is to create a post about things, which can include, 10 photos of your day, 10 things you made this month, 10 things that inspired you - anything once it is 10 things on the tenth of each month.  Anyway I signed up for Shimelle's e-course, Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers, printed off the pdfs and was already to start but just couldn't get going, so this time I intend getting more involved.  I love photography and I feel I have so much to learn.  One of the things I keep seeing everywhere is that the only way you are going to learn is to practice, practice and more practice.  So I decided to join a photography challenge (or two).  The one I am participating in now is a 30 Day Photography Challenge over on White Peach Photography.  Every day you are given a prompt to take a photo.  Anyway today is the 10th day of the challenge so I'm going to include the 10 photos I have taken so far.  The prompts included:

Day1: Self Portrait....
Day2: What you wore today....
Day3: Clouds....
Day 4: Something Green....
Day 5:  From a high angle....
Day 6: From a low angle....
Day 7:  Fruit....
Day 8:  A bad habit....
Day 9:  Someone you love....
Day 10: Childhood memory....
