Live and Learn

Wow, I've had a blog for several years and I feel like a beginner, still.  I haven't spent enough time on this blog to figure it out and make it work for me.  But, no more.  Even if it takes all year, I am determined to become a real blogger by blogging regularly and making my blog reader-friendly.

I read a news byte recently of a study that showed how to keep your brain agile, sharp, and growing as you age.  The premise is that if you challenge your brain with things that are difficult to learn, even if it takes you a long time to learn, your brain grows; it is exercised.

So, I guess I'm ready to exercise! First, I'll change the outward appearance of my blog (if only it were as easy as a few clicks of the mouse to do the same for my person!).  Then I hope to really write, frequently, so as to get into a habit.  Almost like a journal, I think.

I guess I will measure my success at the end of the month by taking a count of my posts and tweaking the layout to suit my preferences.  Then I will challenge myself to post photos, to post links, to have different sections of the blog for books, quotes, poems, whatever.  I hope to stop second guessing myself as much as I do now which prevents me from posting at times.

Ready, set, go!
