Ya, two totally unrelated topics but they happen at the same time at this point of my life. Life has settled into a few areas that I am drawn to lately. Reading and learning. iPad is a must for now. Spent most of the day with E yesterday getting her new used car worked on for a small dent.
We spent a while in Barnes and Noble and I got a photoshop users magazine. Lots of practical useful tips. So today I checked out one of the site they mentioned www.istockphoto.com. There are a lot of good ones and I’m forming an idea to make a banner or logo for my dancingchimes site finally.
I’m reading my third book by Shirley Mclaine now. “Saging while Aging”. The first one “Going Within”, the second “The Camino”. If you want an explanation of how the earth, extraterrestrial beings and human race or the world have to do with each other, she has an elaborated explanation in this one. I am not sure if it all makes sense to me yet, but it does have a good logical story that explains how everything came together. It’s far out there though, I can understand why some said she really lost it in the comments. But I am keeping an open mind until it’s proven wrong.
I also got an ebook that explains how to use Nikon D7000. “From snapshot to great shot” by John Batdoriff. Just got started and it is going to be very helpful to me. Ordered books by the Photoshop guys, Scot Kelby and Matt Kloskowski. Can’t wait to get going with the photoshop.
So between reading and learning, my days passed by extremely fast. I also took up a night owl schedule. Usually stayed up pass 3am and not able to get out of bed till after 11am. Not that I was sleeping through the whole time either. I’m such a light sleeper, any little thing wakes me up or keeps me awake, for example, Tido’s breathing can bug me and keep me awake.
But I am learning to accept who I am. One message came up in different things I read, “Be yourself, accept yourself. Don’t follow what others try to tell you what is right, follow your instinct and your inner guide.” So if I am a night person, I will accept the rhythm my body wants me to follow. Life has enough worries to spend my energy on fighting a rhythm that’s difficult to change. When my body is ready to go the other way, I will be able to change naturally.
