The Days Are Getting Longer

I noticed today as a left work that the days are getting longer. As I get into my truck and head west towards home, I am not surrounded by darkness as I have been during the past several months. No, instead I am blessed with the most wonderful scene unfolding before me. The colors are amazing! There is deep red blending into a mysterious purple mixed with swirls of pink and a sprinkle of lemon yellow all on a baby blue canvas. The wonder before me is ever changing. Very much blue, then more red, then finally darker and darker. What a sight!

I noticed today as a left work that the days are getting longer and if we take the time to witness it, God gives the day the most remarkable send off with the setting sun!

Colts are Superbowl Bound!

Being a big Colts fan and living in the Texan zone can be going against the grain. But I must stay true to my Hoosier roots and back the Colts no matter what! I would have to say, they made an awesome comeback today. Being down 17 to 13 at the half and dominating the second half to pull out a win of 30 to 17, is what makes the Colts a team!

Way to go Colts!

Memories

I recently read a story regarding a childhood memory, and though I was not part of the story I have been to many of the places mentioned, so I was able to relate to the writer through my own experience. This eventually led me to thinking about the human brain and how at times it can act like a time machine. How a story, or a song, or a photograph can trigger the brain to conjure up a memory that can transport you back in time.

It is funny how some memories are so vivid that they could have happened yesterday. Memories are made every moment of everyday and shape our lives and who we are, good and bad. They allow us to relive life. I understand this because that is what my business is all about; preserving a moment in time to be relived a lifetime.

The really interesting concept is that only some memories are retained by the brain. So I question, what causes the brain to file away one memory and discard another? By what means does it determine what is a keeper and how come it does not just file away the good ones and discard the bad?

The Journey of 2010

Each new year brings the opportunity for new beginnings, new experiences, and new resolutions. It is a time to reflect on the past and modify how we live our lives and manage our businesses. Though the new year is the most appropriate time to initiate change for the better, any time is a great time.

For me, this new year has brought excitement at the possibility of sharing Arnold Wilson Photography with a larger community. I have been busy developing new ideas and shaping my course of action to enrich the quality of my mission. I recently finished the book titled The Little Red Book of Selling by Jeffrey Gitomer and recommend it, even if you are not in sales. There is a list of Life-Long Learning Principles in this book and I wish to share a few with you.

~ It starts with a positive attitude so learn how to achieve one

~ Read books and build your library one (read) book a month

~ Attend live seminars as often as you can

~ Spend 30 minutes a day learning something new

~ Practice what you have learned as soon as you learn it

So as 2010 unfolds, I encourage you to dedicate yourself to the pursuit of personal growth and to regularly renew your goals.

How have you mapped your journey for 2010?
