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.

Picking up the Thread.

Sigh. I did it again. I suck at blogging. I especially suck at daily blogging.

I keep meaning to catch up. The plan has been to go back and add photos for every day I missed…even though I didn’t take pictures for every day I missed. I would have had to cheat and as we know, cheaters never win. Unfortunately, I’m a little OCD when it comes to, well, most things. Unless I can do something perfectly (or at the very least adequately and completely) I tend not to do it. Ergo, I don’t play sports or operate power tools. Since I can’t time travel (yet!) I’m just going to pick up the thread and go forward. I will post some photos from the Spring (my trip to California, my handsome nephew, my mystery bruises, random pictures of my dogs) but then I will move on and document my life from this day foreward. As much as it pains me to have a big giant gap and nothing to fill it with, I’m going to press on. It’s probably a very healthy thing for me to do.

And I just realized the potential innuendo in the paragraph above. But I’m going to leave it there because this post does not have to be perfect (i.e. innuendo=free). New leaf, turned over.
