Playing the If Game

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you had been born somewhere else?    I have always felt extremely lucky to have been born in the US and after living in other countries that feeling has been multiplied.

There is a great website called, If It Were My Home, that tells you how different your life would be if you were born in a different country.  The differences are amazing - for example if I were born in India I would use 93% less oil in my lifetime, but I would die nearly 12 years earlier.  The site is a fun (and educational) time waster, that left me feeling luckier than ever, but also helped me realize that there are some other amazing places to be from.

Have you ever considered what it would be like if you had been born somewhere else?  If so, in what country would you like to have been born?

Here's a little Uncle Kracker with "Good to be Me," in the hopes that you all feel good about where and who you are today.

Creativity Bootcamp Day 13 - Smile

I can hardly believe today is the last day of bootcamp.  It's been a great experience, one that I hate to see end.  I've enjoyed every assignment and loved connecting with other bloggers and artists.  I'm looking forward to  Maegan's new series - The Sunday Creative - its just the thing to keep me going.

Today's photo prompt was smile - and truth be told I went straight back to my favorite photo subjects, my niece and nephew.  Spending time with them over the weekend was so much fun.  Tiny T would run to the dirtiest spot on the playground and wallow in it - and boy did that make him happy.  Miss M has a future as a director - she was happies when she was telling us where to stand and what to do.

With this post I'm going to step away from my online life for a few days to recharge - with the exception of putting together a mixed CD for a music swap organized by a fellow bootcamper with a great name.  In what, I hope, is a sign that the connections we made during the past two weeks will continue to grow. The support and encouragement I've felt from other participants meant more to me than I can express in words.

Another photo prompt that practically chooses the day's song for me.  Here's a little Uncle Kracker and "Smile."
