Thing #3 (reflections on blogging & avatars)

I've created my avatar. I wasn't quite sure if the avatar should be a realistic representation of me or reflect the image that I would like people to have of me. Whatever the case may be, I've decided upon a down-to-earth avatar. No foo-foo frilly dress for my avatar! I have to admit that I didn't spend too much time creating my avatar. I never have liked playing with dolls, real or virtual.

Thing 2 (lifelong learning)

This is my first experience with 23 Things and blogging. I've viewed the video on the 71/2 habits, and the habit I think is most challenging for me is #1---Begin with the end in mind. I find that I am not as deliberate about setting goals for myself. I have a general idea of what I want, but nothing specific. I think my goals evolve as I delve into whatever it is I do. The least challenging for me are #7 (Teach/Mentor) and #71/2 (Play). I naturally like to share what I learn with others, and I prefer to share through play or at least a playful attitude.
