Canon G10

I have this wonderful new camera that I basically don't know how to use. Finally, I decided to pay for some, three, individual lessons and I start Tuesday. Everyday I look at photos on Flickr and love love love how people document their lives. They are so into it and I want to be into it too, but I need some skills with my newly beloved camera.

S wants to be friends with me again, having forgiven me for being me, I guess. I told him that for right now I would just like to see him at the Saturday meditation meeting, and he respects that boundary. I saw him today and it was really nice.

I think this boundary thing is going to be life-changing for me -- what it does is to show me that I can take measures around how much I want to give and not rush into things. With little S, it's also about how much I want to give...

Maintenant, il s'agit d'un tigre qui fait rage dans le caribou. Le chasseur et le chassé. Le cercle de la vie. Maintenant, c'est encore les éléphants. Les lions se préparent à les attaquer. Les éléphants sont gris et magnifiquement ridé et ont des yeux très petits.

Lentement, Mais Sûrement

Les dernières fois que j'ai parlé sur Skype avec mes amis français, j'ai remarqué une grande différence. Voilà, je commence à parler en phrases. Je ne pourrais pas dire tout à fait correctement, mais les mots qui sortent de ma bouche sont des phrases. Ce qui me rend si heureuse. J'ai l'impression que j'apprends lentement, mais sûrement ...
