It's a New Year and I've Lost My Mind

Well, this is a post I hadn't planned to write. No. I sat down to my computer with thoughts of writing my resolutions for a new year. It seemed simple enough. My daughter was on the couch finishing a book. My husband was in the recliner watching football. It was the perfect plan. I could sit with my laptop in the living room and write this post.

Of course, I was on Twitter. My resolution should probably be to seek help for my Twitter addiction. I guess knowing you have a problem is the first step.

So I'm pondering my resolutions and watching the Twitter feed. Soon they start to appear: 365 photo challenges. I've thought about these before. I always enjoy Mary Lee's photo mosaics at A Year in Reading, as well as the 365 day photos I see tweeted on Twitter.

The tweets continued. (You can read below to find some that were pivotal in my decision.) Finally I received this tweet:

@justwonderinY Did you decide which group to join? Re: Pic a day

It turns out this resolution post will be about a new and crazy goal I have for myself. I'm joining the 365 day challenge.

So for now...

I'm joining the Flickr 365 challenge. I'm still thinking about a blog to keep the photos. Yes, it's a new year and I've lost my mind.

Photo Challenges

There was this 2011/365 challenge on Flickr (Sorry, I can't remember who first tweeted this; maybe @steelepierce).

There was this 365 Project tweeted by @teachingwthsoul.

@justwonderinY I also used more than one picture on many days. It became like a gratitude journal or memory blog: http://bit.ly/eXlqRq
