I finally had time to play with my Duaflex and that TTV concept I was talking about. I'm not crazy about the prints that I got,but I think they were a good first try.

I am going on a fishing trip this weekend!With this announcement, I must admit, I have never gone fishing. I know, I know. What kinda person am I? Apparently everyone in the world knows how to fish. I think the whole idea of fishing is slightly scary. How do you get it off of the hook? What if it's squirming around? Well, hopefully I will know the answers to these and more by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck.

On the more philosophical side, I've been thinking alot about prayer and the future. I read in Eat, Pray, Love that our fate is a combination of both faith and freewill. There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts. I can choose my destiny. What a liberating thought.
