If I'm not mistaken, I wrote just a little while back about becoming more of a "Yes Man" in relation to taking advantage of the little opportunities that life throws in all of our paths every day. Today, Google Maps invited me to become a Local Guide, and I jumped at it.

Never knowing such a thing existed, the opportunity to participate in yet another larger community has put my walking in a new perspective. Essentially, your "reputation" as a local guide hinges upon the number of places you visit and manage to add to the conversation on Google Maps. It's given me yet another reason to explore and perhaps break out of some of the more routine aspects of the daily practice. It freshens the ey for interesting things to photograph and review.

The same old routes will not work as well if the metric that my contributions are measured against are new areas to explore and document. It's good to break out of a shell of my own making, and I'm grateful for the opportunity.

I have a new hunger for additional opportunities that may be just around the corner tomorrow.
