The Silence Has Ended.
(Total reading time 1 minute)
1 month ago today my postaday2011 went silent. Each day I posted a picture on my blog that I hoped would best capture the mood, feeling, or events of the day. I thought is would be easy. The change felt refreshing and easy for the first 3 or 4 days. Then as I began to run out of ideas I started looking at my day with much more detail. I began asking myself what did I do interesting today? What does this image say? There were many times throughout the month that made me feel like I need to get out more. Explore the world around me.
At times I drove my wife nuts. For a portion of the month of August we were traveling on vacation. Many of my photo posts were done using her Iphone 4 and the wordpress mobile application. I have an Iphone as well but it is a much older version that has come to crawl. The battery life is minimal, the processing speed on it can barely run an application and connecting to the net is intermittent at best. Fortunately for me, like always, my wife welcomes these interesting little challenges I take on and supports me through them.
There were many nights throughout the month that I wanted to write instead of using an image in my post, but once I had made the decision to go wordless for 1 month I stuck with it. I have learned time and time again it is extremely important to stick by your decisions.
So with the last quarter of the year remaining and summer beginning to fade the postaday2011 challenge continues.
Thats all I have to say.
