Things I Love

July 2024's photo blogging challenge theme is Things I Love. I thought about whether "things" includes people. But a quick check of the dictionary makes it clear that while a noun is a person, place or thing, things are limited to inanimate objects, interests or an experiences. So while some photos include people I love, they are incidental to those things I selected for this post.

Do It Yourself (or DIY)

There's a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem that comes from doing it yourself! And sometimes, after doing something yourself for the first time, you realize you're better off paying someone else to do it for you going forward. Competency isn't just about learning/knowing how to do things. It's about knowing the value of your time and the value you get back from expending your time.
