Imagine the Possibilities

As New Year's Day approached and then quickly passed, I pondered the typical rationale of a resolution to achieve one or more specific goals for the year and made a decision to take a different approach.

res-o-lu-tion [rez-uh-loo-sh uh n] a resolve or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.

Every week, I will challenge myself to do one or more of the following:

- Explore a 'new place'. Places can be anything from a new restuarant to a new spot for a photo-shot, or a new city, state or country.

- Meet 'new people' and make 'new friends'. People are what, I mean who, make the world go round. What makes them tick? What can I learn from them, and how can our friendship enrich both of our lives?

- Try, join or start a 'new activity'. Activities can be anything from trying your hand at a new physical sport, volunteering, joining a club or creating a website. The possibilities are endless.

- Learn 'something new'. Go deeper into topics you are already know or broader with new topics to expand your horizons.

IMAGINE the POSSIBILITIES....

Week Four 2011

What a difference a week can make. Last week I noted that it seemed many had cabin fever and were anxious to get out of the house. There were as many, if not more out and about this weekend, but for a much different reason. It was an unseasonably warm 70 degrees! Even as I sit at the bar in Leilani's Aloha Lounge at 5:30pm on Sunday with the doors wide open, it is 69 degrees. Thanks to the Big Man for this break in weather as it is very much appreciated.

My 'Favorite Photo of the Week' is an amusing one. Our house is united in love and often divided in Football. In this picture you'll see two of the main factions represented for the game this past week between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. And as we all know, the Packers were victorious, so we'll be rooting for them on Super Bowl Sunday..... or will we? We also have family representation in Pittsburgh....




So, what's new this week? 
Learn something new -
I just watched a 45 minute review of CS5 by Terry White that I learned about on the Weekly Photo Tips blog by Scott. I've already been using some of the new Photoshop CS5 tools that I learned a couple weeks ago, but learned more about refining edges and using the healing brush with content aware to take out telephone lines as well as power cables on a stage.
Go somewhere new -
Robert & I went to Vinyl, a fun venue in Mid-Town, to see The Lefty Williams Band this past Friday.  
Treasure Hunting for things new to me -
For those of you who really know me, you already know that I am a huge fan of thrift and antique shops. Everything old is new again..... So, as I left the nail salon on my way to Hair by the Square to pick up a bottle of my very favorite hair spray ever - Aquage Working Spray, I stopped in at the Thrift Center on Roswell Rd across from the First Baptist Church. Something was calling my name, as I historically haven't had much luck there. As I walked in the door, directly to my left was a booth, 'Retro in the Metro' in the process of being set up. Imagine my delight when I saw this 'Therm Ware' carafe by David Douglass and four retro cafeteria trays.

Signing off until next week. What wil you do that is new?
