This is my 2nd blog. I created one about shelling in SW Florida a couple of months ago, but I haven't posted to it very often. I plan to be more regular in my posts to this blog.

There are still some things I need to learn about blogging. I need to learn how to make my template more fun.

I have done the first week's assignment. On the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, I feel everyone in this profession has to be a lifelong learner. Things change too rapidly not to continue learning. Mostly it is fun and exciting.

One of the hardest things for me in the 7 1/2 Habits is viewing problems as challenges. When we are helping a patron at the reference desk or on a public Internet station and the technology is not working, it is difficult to see that as a challenge rather than as an obstacle.

I probably could also use technology to my advantage more often. Sometimes it is "easier" to continue to do things the old way than to take the time to learn a new way.

I am looking forward to participating in this activity.
