test post 1 and Things #1 & #2

OK. I must admit some trepidation in learning this new stuff. I find myself constantly correcting, editing and/or adding to my early blog posts as I learn more about how this all works. I keep getting interrupted, so it's hard to find spots of time to work on this project and have it make sense--even to me, much less the rest of the population who might stumble across it.

For me, the most difficult of the 7 1/2 habits is technology. Although I work with computers and the Internet all day long and use a computer at home, I grew up in a household that valued reading rather than television, sports or listening to music. Part of my resistance is generational, but some of it may be fear of having to learn something new--yet again.

The easiest of the 7 1/2 habits is accepting responsibility, which may help overcome the fear of learning something new! I've always been a very responsible person, often to my own detriment!

All the other habits seem pretty easy for me, and things I do naturally, or have learned to do along the way.

I do believe strongly in lifelong learning, so hopefully I can conquer my dislike of technology and embrace this ever-changing beast.
