Progress not Perfection!

Well I am back at it. Trying to learn about blogging and have it all come together. I have discovered I have a rather large learning curve to follow. This reminds me of when I got my first computer and was trying to learn how to install and use a print shop program. I used to laugh and tell my husband that for every 6 hours that I was on the computer that I got 20 Minutes worth of actual knowledge. All the rest was a massive amount of post it notes saying things like Note to Self: don't push that button, don't reset that, oops don't hit that key!
Well I bought a fabulous book called Blogging for Bliss by Tara Frey and it is wonderful! It is filled with lots of info on how to set up a blog which is exactly what I need! I am learning so much and there are so many examples of blogs and help topics that I know I will be a better blogger in no time!
And I am also reminding myself whenever I get frustrated that it is about progress not perfection! I have a perfectionist inside that wants to trigger my inner critic and team up to try to make me feel like I should be further ahead, I should be able to figure this all out quickly, I should, should, should...
Well I am not falling for all those shoulds. Instead I am reminding myself that a week ago I didn't even have a blog and now I have one, and now I have more on it than I did a few days ago. And I have more knowledge than I did even yesterday! So Progress it is!

My husband and I are going out of town for the holiday weekend and I am taking my Blogging for Bliss book with me and going to learn more! I am taking my art and craft bag with me and will find time for myself to Doodle, journal and find some fun creative ways to express my creative energy and then figure out how to put some of it on my blog to share!
