musings...

I have too many jumbled thoughts today.  maybe it's the dayquil/breezers/excedrin combo. :)  but I feel inspiried today.life is short.I'm realizing this more and more.what inpsires me?  today it's blogs.  there are about fifty blogs that I follow regularly.  kind-of my own daily magazine reading of sorts. :)  and a couple of them are truly creatively inspiring.  some blog every day about the life they are living.  some are once every week about amazing things they are doing.  some are informative.  some are family oriented.  some are about design.  but it got me thinking about my blog.  what I want to accomplish creatively.  do I want to blog everyday?  do I share too much about myself?  what is it about someone that makes them inspiring?  I don't have a conclusion today.  but I know that the main thing I love about all these blogs that I read is that they're DOING.  doing life.  I want to DO life.  do work my husband always tells me....here's my makeshift list of things I want to do in 2010 (so far and not in order)1. have a shoot on a train or a trolley.2. really learn my manual settings.3. get a fish eye lens.4. capture a picture of my son scoring a touchdown.5. add more weddings to my schedule.  I actually enjoy them a lot.6. paint my cabinets + antique them.7. finish my license plate bathroom.8. de clutter my entire house...do I really need it?9. run a 5k...I'm actually starting to enjoy running if I make it a competition with myself...you should see me in action...I always win. ;)10. put my prints as art on my walls in canvas.11. learn to knit something other than a scarf.  I knit a wicked scarf.12. stop biting my nails.  I quit for awhile, but then just stopped.  the trouble is I like biting my nails.  yes, betsy.  parting the waters is something I enjoy. :)13. update my website.  maybe a new look?  I dunno...gotta think on this one more...14. learn what it means to brand yourself...do I need to do this, I wonder?  people talk about this a lot lately...maybe I do?15. find ten more really cool shoot locations.16. to drink more water...it's boring but good for you, I hear.17. to grow a vegetable garden.  especially tomato's + cucumbers...I like them.18. to plant my morning glory seeds and hopefully watch them grow.19. to become better friends with my "girls".20. be a better friend to my "friends".21. pray more.  and then some more.22. to love matt in the way he loves to be loved more...not the way I think he should be loved. :)23. to blog more :)twenty three's a good number, no?  it was michael jordan's number...so I'd say yes...I'll probably put more, but at least it's a start.and it wouldn't be a blogpost without a picture...so here I am...in one of my most favorite cities in the world (so far) :)  bring it on 2010.  bring it on. :)
