Odds and Ends

Ive often wondered at how the advent of the video recorder and now digital photography/videography will change the way people view their pasts.

Will it now provide people with concrete evidence as to how they were raised? Will they see that things were not as the were precieved? Or will they see things that they didnt know about when they lived it?

I often wonder that if I were able to see some of the interactions of my childhood, would it change the way that I see my loved ones and myself? I wonder how the girl will feel years from now reading this blog or watching video of us loving on her as a baby or hearing us talk to and about her through watching videos.

In that same vein, I love what B is doing this year...keeping a photolog of each day of the year...taking a photo everyday of something that is going on. I love it. Check out her first layout here (she started mid January so rather than say its Project 365, she calls it Project 341)

I love this idea, if for nothing else than recording one year in your life.

On another note entirely, Ive been lax this week with walking. Mostly because Ive been sick although I did get out there and do two miles yesterday. I can tell its getting easier. The goal is to be able to walk the whole 3.2 miles by April 2 and then start on the running part. I figure if I even run one of the three miles in the race then Im happy. Its been VERY good motivation, that date looming ahead. A side bar of encouragement was this morning when I went to the doctor to get an antibiotic for this death of a cold I have had, my blood pressure was way way WAY improved. THAT was inspiring!!

And if Im not mistaken, I think my butt looks a titch smaller...oh wait, thats cause I bought new shorts...Nevermind....
