Day 5: Attempt to Experience.

Hey, one full workday week down...that has to count for something, right?

Well, even if that doesn't, here's something that does: I feel ten years younger. I know, I'm not quite old enough to claim any knowledge about feeling younger, but I feel a decade lighter.

Remember when we were a kids , we'd think of something and then just do it? We didn't calculate cost to gain ratios, worry about having enough time or what people might think - we just did things because we wanted to do them. That was fun.

And you know what?

It's still fun.

I'm not talking about blowing your life savings at a casino or abandoning your family, friends and responsibilities because you want to have fun. That's not cool.

I'm talking about doing things because you want to do them, and not because you are good at it or could turn a profit. But simply for the experience of doing it. If experience is your goal, there is no failing - just a series of attempts with varied outcomes.

It won't stop the crows feet from sneaking up, but for me, freedom to fail seems to be my very own fountain of youth.

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS:

Putting my photos out there in the world was a bit more taxing than I'd bargained for. Not the sending out, just the tedious task of following guidelines. I don't speak pixel, but I did my best to adhere to the rules of four different contests. That was all I had to do. And I did it. The rest is out of my hands. Whew.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: Starting A Web-Based Semi-Business.

There's an idea I've been ruminating on for a while, four years to be exact. It was something I'd imagined I would day someday. Well, the thing I am learning about adulthood is that someday has arrived; you either do it or you don't. It's that simple. I'm not going to go on about what it is, but I am purchasing the domain name, (I don't speak tech, I learned this from my computer-genius boyfriend.) And simply start. I will place the link here when it is close to up and running. And I promise to post it before I am "ready."

Thank you for visiting, coming back, or just passing by.
