It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn…it’s 2010!

In the past, the prospect of a new year has brought hope, goals, resolutions, and clean slates. The beginning of this decade was inauspicious at best as I was laid up with a nasty case of strep throat. In fact, I was so under the weather that I actually forgot to bask in the novelty and freshness of not only a new year, but a new and promising decade. In order to regain that feeling, I’ve started a new project. I’m going to document what will surely prove to be a magical and glorious year by keeping a photo journal. Last year was full of changes, blessings, transitions, and missteps; however many of the details are muddy or forgotten. This year I will take a photograph every day and post it here with a brief description. Sometimes I feel like my life is a monotonous string of mornings and midnights, the hours in between being largely mundane and fleeting. But I know this isn’t true! I will seek out the blessings, the lessons, and the epiphanies and I will be grateful for them all. I once read that how you spend your time is how you spend your life. I want to make sure that I’m spending wisely and I want to remember, if not each and every moment, at least the notable ones. Dear friends, I invite you in for a peak into my world. It may not always be pretty or universally significant, but it’s mine…and that makes it worthwhile.

Happy New Year all!

*Note – I am not a photographer or the owner of a high-end camera.
The photo quality may be inferior, but the days these pictures represent are most certainly not.

February 22, 2010 - RIP Daddy (the pit bull)

It is with great sadness that I report that Cesar Millan's beloved dog "Daddy" passed away. I know, I know, I'm getting all emotional about a dog that I've never even met. But Todd and I have spent many Sunday mornings watching episode after episode of The Dog Whisperer and we both LOVED Daddy. When Cesar would go to someone's house to deal with a problematic dog, he usually brought Daddy with him to help teach the dog to behave. Daddy was a wonderful example of how kind and gentle pit bulls can be under the right care and guidance. I'm gonna miss you buddy. :(

Check him out.
