31 in 31 #31 Completing the task in 31 days – what I learned and what next     

I really enjoyed the process. I am already comfortable with writing so that part was relatively easy. Also the topics seem to flow along probably because I am in the middle of several projects and trying to organize them as best as I can. I liked the limitation and also the freedom of no more than 350 words. It made it much easier for me. There were some challenges and I expect more in the one year course starting next week. Technologically, I am still a bit all thumbs about loading pictures, using videos, uploading to youtube and generally making the blogs more lively and interesting. I am still in the “brain-dump” phase of learning to blog. I would hope that the blogs become more fun to read and that I can organize the blogs to support my various businesses. I have thought of a title for the blog Transitions & Transformations / Pets & People. However, the free blogs don’t like capital letters or strange signs like “&”. Skipping that minor problem for a moment, I would like to write about transitions, transformations, pets and people and that will cover all the aspects of my businesses as well as my deeper interests. It is important to me to be conversant with the modern ways of communicating such as blogging, social networking etc. Not only is this the current way to communicate but it will become even more in the future. I think about my mom who will be 96 next month. She lives completely independently and is a bit of political junkie in the best sense of that term. However, she is afraid of computers, does not have email and so must use the methods of her youth to get information such as the library, magazines and newspapers. It works for her but she misses out on a lot of things she would love. So again, thanks for the opportunity and on we go.
