About the Things...

Thing #1
Was easy, but I neglected to post it.
Thing#2
The most difficult thing for me of the 7 1/2 habits, would be the last one "Play". I think I take playing too seriously and I'm not able to relax!
Habit #2 Accepting Responsiblity.... comes easy to me.
Thing #3
Creating my Blog was fun and I enjoyed doing it. Coming up with a title took some time.
Many thanks to Library Administration for giving us this opportunity to Blog.
Looking forward to storytime podcasts.
