Well its been a little while since Ive posted any love here, but I have now realised why after reading another useful blog. It turns out that when faced with a task that seems too large to tackle, its just easier to run and hide - or pretend that its not there. Instead what I should be doing is breaking things down into smaller tasks, which not only makes things easier to get done becasue your only tackling many small problems, but the sence of acheivement that comes on the completion of a task gives you the phycological boost to want to achieve more and more. Then, before you realise it, the huge problem that you couldnt bare to face has been sorted out!
If only I was told this when I was younger, and then I might have been inclined to finish my homework and achieved something greater in life! Instead what I have decided to do, is get some photos that Ive taken posted to the various online sites, as well as post something to this poor neglected page of mine. And Look - here is something posted!
Im proud of myself, for no other reason than I get to go to bed tonight with the sence of achievement - and thats a worthy reward in itself!
The other thing of mild interest that has taken any free time away (after photography, travel and general computer stuff) is the world of Geocaching. Many moons ago I discovered this crazy idea that people all over the world were doing, and figured Id check it out. So with my trusty Wingman, a borrowed GPS and more than a few cans of Scotch off we went in search of treasure! Well it turned out to be a lot of fun, but like most things I seem to get involved with it fell by the wayside until a friend recently mentioned it again. So now I find myself spending the weekends (and even after work!) out trecking through the English countryside, all in the search for small plastic lunchboxes containing....
The best bit about it though? Not so much the search for them (though there is a secret joy in knowing where something is hidden) but the fact that Im out in the fresh air, seeing parts of the countryside that some locals dont even know exists, and doing it with like-minded friends.
Things not so grand? The thought of geocaching come winter, and sludging through snowy fields while loosing feeling in various extremities. Thorns, thistles, stinging nettles, bees and wasps and various other murderous British flora and fauna.
But all in the name of good fun!
