Well, the digital camera idea hasn't taken off yet. I finally got around to trying to take some pictures today, only to be notified that my batteries are dead. Do these things run on regular batteries? Who even knows? So the camera thing will be on my list of things to work with over the next few days.
I've been reviewing my goals this afternoon. I wish I could say I had a highly functional up-to-date goal achieving system. I don't. Rather I have five or six word documents with various lists of goals, some for different time periods, some with an exclusive writing focus, some that are simply things I want to see manifest in my life.
One of the things on one of my lists was to have a digital camera, so at least for the time being I can check that one off. To some degree I've made progress over the last year. I'm getting paid to write, which was just a fantasy before. I'm self-publishing a column for single women. I have a better car. I have a flexible schedule. These are encouraging, though I'm still miles away from where I want to be. Keep walking. Keep walking. One step at a time. I admit, I'm ready for the leap to the top of the mountain.
I have the travel bug. Travel made just about every list I have. Did you hear Shannon is moving to Hawaii for a year?! I'm jealous while at the same time not being sure I could do it. A month I could do. And maybe I will. Who knows. I've never been to Hawaii, which is one of my biggest regrets from my time in California. I was so close and yet I never went. Of course I never went to the La Brea Tarpits either but that's a little easier to forgive.
I've been talking to Pete and Jackie, my friends in Maine, and now I want to go there too. I haven't been to California this year, which if I don't will be the first year in four years I haven't made that trip. Melissa is probably going to China and I want to go with her (which isn't an option, but still snags my wanderlust).
Arise oh my travel companion, whoever you are, and let's go see the world. All I need is batteries for the camera.

regular batteries work(think duracell,not radio shack) but the cameras seem to consume them quickly, so rechargeable ones are actually more sound economically.One of my goals is to consolidate all my goal lists

i went to the LaBrea Tarpits for a school field trip back in elementary school. It is greatly overrated, so you are not missing much.
Two people came up to me at an Abundant Life cookout this past Memorial day and said - "I read on a blog that you're moving to Hawaii!" I was like, "Huh?!" ;)
Hung out with my d-group friend Susan last night. She said, "Do you know who Melanie Benedict is? I'm getting her singleness column." I was like, "Oh, she's a friend of mine - I probably sent your email address to her." She said, "Well, the article I got was really good!" :)
More to add - will email. . . .
