I haven't writen much here - i knew I wouldn't be a regular blogger...
the sermon sunday got me thinking maybe I should be working with children again...more about that later. If I start writing about that now I'll be up all night. It's complex - it's all tied up with my fertility -and the reasons I stopped working in the not for proffit world/ with children. I've only recently really started back to exploring my spritual life - so it seems really too soon to start making decisions based on my feeligns after one sermon. I think Ariel is right - I need to see what kinds of things open up - I still think writing my family history is important - and learning more about qualitative research and semi-structured interviews. As I write this I realise ...if anyone else is reading this they probably don't know WHAT I am going on about - that and I wasn't plannig to stay up late writing tonight.
I've been obsessing about flickr - so I've been taking a lot of pictures. I think I need to go through maybe next weekend and delete the photos from my stream that aren't as good - or are the same.
It is still a mystery to me how people get so many comments or visitors to their pages. Is it the title? the time of day posted? they submit to groups? I'm not sure. what I really want is to kow if some of my photos are good enough to sell - but I've become obsessed with wanting a photo on the explore page becuase of the exposure it gets.
I need to learn more about what groups will provide the feedback I want - and forget about the explore page.

I really should go to bed - maybe I can take some photos tomorrow morning - I haven't taken a single photo today. I'm obsessed you know - I actually took photos in church - it didn't take away really from my hearing the message - of course - the photos weren't particularly good - they were lopsided.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
