365 PROJECT

I have been wanting to start  the 365 Project for sometime now. But I am a known procrastinator. And sometimes a pessimism about starting new projects. After all... I had the idea to start this blog three years ago but didn't start writing actively until the beginning of this year. I debated on blogging my personal life and what types of problems would come with airing all my drama on to the web. I guess, I had to make sure I felt it was right. On CreatingKeepsakes.com Becky Higgins gives 10 great reasons and examples of how to start what to use and why to do Project 365. I can admit she convinced me.

I had doubts. I have had a hard time expressing myself in past years. When I found out I was pregnant, the words in my head started to flow onto my journal. Its full. Well, almost full. I have about three empty pages left to fill it up but I am pretty sure I will write something to night. When I started writing I released something inside of me. I wanted to find out who I was and what I wanted to do. I then started to read blogs and books about writing and tons of self help books to get me out of what ever funk I was in. Most importantly, I wanted to be a better person for myself, and for my future son. Writing helps me keep myself honest and true.

I think that's why I think the 365Project would be another great expression outlet. Also, considering that I am having a little one... who doesn't take a million of pictures a day of their kid. Every time I was around friends who have children I was reminded of that episode of I Love Lucy where, Lucy and Ricky try not to brag about their child but then pull out albums and boxes of photos of little Ricky to show their friends. Yea. I am going to be that mom. Even though I hate strongly disliked it when my friends with kids did it to me. I guess you live and learn. I totally understand now that I am pregnant how you can't help but show every moment and movement of your little miracle to others. You believe your itty bitty baby is the best creation ever made. And think why wouldn't people want to see that beautiful face?

365Project is the perfect place to capture all those moments. Plus it will make me feel like I am technically hip. LOL. I don't know how to work a camera. Let a long upload pictures to this blog yet. And this way my mom can go online to stay up to date on her new addition of grandchildren.

I put on my to do list to start on March 1st. That gives me time to buy a new charger and SD memory cards for my two cameras and learn all the features on the cameras.

Now if I can only get the camera to start working.
