Ta-Da take 2

Okay, this is take 2 because I accidentally lost take 1. It went something along the lines of "I am so excited to have created a blog, can't believe how easy it was to set up, don't really know what to write but still excited, this could be addicting, etc." That was when I killed my very first post but don't worry-I'm baaaaack! Think Energizer Bunny and Terminator. It just keeps going and has really nice guns. On to the reason for all this...7 and one-half Successful Habits of Life Long Learners blog assignment.
Of the 7 and one-half habits two stuck out as being my worst. I have a hard time viewing problems as challenges and using technology to my advantage. The older I get makes the first a little easier and the second a little harder. I've learned at church that if you pray for strength God will give you a task that will prove your strength, if you pray for courage, God will give you a chance to see how courageous you are, and so on. That's been a hard lesson but it's overflowed to all areas of my life and it does make it easier to see challenges as opposed to problems. I think a lot of that also has to do with thinking like an adult (reality vs the way we want life to be) and being optimistic instead of thinking like a kid (the world revoloves around me) in a negative way.
