I really do enjoy using the <a href="https://1se.co/" target="_blank">1 Second Everyday app</a>. If you like yearly 365 day type projects, then this app would be perfect for you. I kind of sound like an advertisement, don't I. I have no investment in the app, I just really have fun with the app and want others to have fun with it too.<br />

We had never been there before and it didn't even exist the last time we were both at Disneyland. I really would like to return some day. I actually enjoyed it much more than Disneyland, even though half of the park was closed for renovation. <br />

<b>March 6:</b> Our first time at Disney California Adventure. The last time I was here, California Adventure was still a parking lot. We had just gotten off our first ride of the day, Grizzly River Run (a whitewater rafting ride and my new favorite) and we were SOAKED! Perfect time for a picture. π»π<br />

The husband won a trip to Disneyland last year at his holiday work party and we couldn't wait to go. The last time I went to Disneyland was back in the 80's. The place is looking a bit different now-a-days.<br />

Which just happens to be one of my favorite things. It may have been only ONE tree, but that doesn't make it any less awesome. <br />
<br />
Every time I walked down the hospital hallway, I glanced out the glass doors to catch a glimpse of said tree. It took me a while to get the chance to actually enjoy sitting under it though because everyone else seemed to have the same idea. That tree was never alone. There was always someone sitting under it. Sadly, the flowers are gone now but it was beautiful while it lasted. <br />

I have gone from taking a ton to barely taking any at all. I always thought it would be fun to actually share all the pictures that I take on my blog too instead of just posting them on other platforms (like Instagram and Flickr). <br />
<br />
I have wanted to post a week in photos type of post for awhile now, but didn't think it would work if I wasn't actually doing a daily photo project. Oh the silly things that go through my head. I have no idea why I thought that. There is nothing wrong with posting a blog post of a week of photos that doesn't actually contain a week of photos, right? However here we are 3 weeks into the new year and I have taken a grand total of 10 photos. <br />
<br />
So without further ado......<br />
<br />

I cannot believe another year is done. Of course, I say that every year. It was another year of very few photos and just like last year, I put them all together in a video along with my most played song for that month.<br />
<br />
I have high hopes though that 2018 will be much better when it comes to taking more photos. I finally bought a new computer (good-bye Windows Vista!) and I am looking forward to maybe my computer actually acknowledging my big-girl camera now. I say maybe because I just bought the computer a couple of days ago and I haven't done anything with it yet. Hopefully, it doesn't take me too long to get used to Windows 10.<br />
<br />
Thank you for watching.<br />

I have photos I want to post online but I have a need to post it all in chronological order and needless to say, I am behind. I'm currently posting photos from September in November. Nothing like it being Christmas time and I am over here posting Jack-O-Lanterns. It's not like there are a lot of photos either. I rarely take any now. I don't even want to talk about my 2017 daily 1-second a day video project. I barely started choosing my daily snippets for April, last week. I think I need to choose just one thing and get it all caught up before I work on something else.<br />
<br />
What do you do when you have a ton of stuff you want to get done? Any tips or tricks you can share with me?<br />

Time sure does pass by quickly when I am off doing nothing. I figured it was time that I tried out this blogging thing again.<br />
<br />
I guess when the laptop hasn't been turned on for a while, the battery dies. Oops. I also only seem to have 20 MB of free space available on this thing. I really don't think I can put off getting a new computer any longer. If only I could decide on just what kind to get. I keep flip-flopping between a laptop or a desktop.<br />
<br />
Nothing much has really been going on around here. Back in July, I did chop off my hair. So that's something. I went from having hair halfway down my back to above my shoulders. The last time I had my hair this short was 30-years ago. I have to admit though, I do like it. I may even cut it again. The natural silver white highlights are a bonus.<br />

So, tell me... What have you been up to for the past 100 days? What's been happening in your neck of the woods?<br />

Back at the beginning it was all about sharing with family and sharing with others. The goal was to get people to read whatever I posted. I really wanted to have people that knew me, read my blog. But now... now I am hesitant to write.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I toy with the idea of creating a new private blog. I would love to just write in a simple journal but my fear of people reading said journal has kept me from writing. It's not like I have tons of personal stuff to write, or maybe I do, but to have the option to write whatever I want without it getting back to say... my Mother, would be great.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I just stop blogging. I haven't turned on the computer since I did my taxes back in April. My Dad is sick and he is not going to get better.<br />

I don't know, it just doesn't seem to be as much fun as it has been in previous years. There's a whole different vibe to it this year.<br />
<br />
Am I the only one that feels this way?<br />

<br />
I find that for most of the daily projects that I take on, I actually complete. Although, there are some that never really had the chance. Like creating an <a href="http://dreamsofnyssa.blogspot.com/search/label/index%20cards" target="_blank">index-card-a-day</a> and working in <a href="http://dreamsofnyssa.blogspot.com/2017/02/holy-mini-moley.html" target="_blank">my mini moleskine art journal</a>. The time to work on them daily just isn't there. So, I just do what I can, when I can.<br />
<br />
Then there are the photo-a-day challenges, where I take everyday photos every day for a year. I do pretty well on taking a photo each day but when it comes sharing the photo with others or online, it can take me years. <br />

My most recent daily project has been to take a one second video of each day. At the end of the year, I mash all the video snippets together to make a yearly video. I recently posted a blog post with my video for 2016 but I will post it again below. I really look forward to creating a 2017 yearly video of the everyday every day.<br />

<br />
Do you use <a href="https://disqus.com/" target="_blank">Disqus</a> for comments on your blog?<br />
<br />
I have thought about using <a href="https://disqus.com/" target="_blank">Disqus</a>, but I always change my mind. It's not like I get a ton of comments, but I wonder if <a href="https://disqus.com/" target="_blank">Disqus</a> would just be better/easier than using Blogger's native commenting system. I think I worry most about the comments not being linked to the blog anymore and disappearing if I ever stop using <a href="https://disqus.com/" target="_blank">Disqus</a>. I believe that has been an issue in the past. Is it still an issue today?<br />
<br />
So, tell me... What do I need to know?<br />

<br />
Back then, I was coming from a Geocities website where I posted pictures and updates for family. Geocities ended, so I created a blog to post those same type of updates and also to use as an online journal for me to remember things. <br />
<br />
I wrote about anything and basically just threw my thoughts out there into the World Wide Web. I posted whenever I wanted to. Even multiple times a day. I complained a lot. I had conversations through the comments. I joined Blog Exchanges, where you visit blogs for a set time to earn views for your own blog. I liked the exchanges. I found a lot of different kinds of blogs to read and some of them are still around. <br />
<br />
I didn't really worry about what I posted. No one got offended back then. But also, not that many people who actually knew me were reading my blog, so I felt I was "safe" when it came to what I posted. <br />
<br />
Over the years my posts became less chit chat, less complaining and more posting of just stuff. Stuff that wasn't as personal as it once was. Stuff that was "safe". Some days, I wish I had kept my blog anonymous so that I could just post what I was really feeling that day.<br />
<br />
Below is a screenshot of my very first blog post.<br />
<br />
When did you first start blogging?<br />
