Day 317/365

hasta la pasta
What a year it has been. My 2010 resolution was to do more and plan less, operation 2010 a success. I reflect on the happenings... where I've been, who I've drawn closer to, who I've separated from. I contemplate the resolve which has finally reached my heart. I am closer to center than I have been through this entire decade. I'm setting fire to the illusion of control, and embracing probability (a relative possibility an event will occur). Tonight I say good bye to the tiger, and welcome the year of the rabbit.

Day 312/365

remembering....

Day 311/365

it was a very merry christmas.

my day was full :)



my oldest asked me "how can you get so excited? you know what it is, you're the one that wrapped it?" i explained to him, thats what makes it so fun... max was SOOOOO much fun this year. his little face lit up with every present! my favorite part was when all his gifts were open, and he pointed out there are still presents under the tree. i explained to him, those belong to someone else... he checked back with me a few times to see if i changed my mind about them being someone else's lol

Day 309/365

i know it is self portrait thursday, but here is the deal... the sun FINALLY came out!! so my portrait is a mental image of me holding my camera, squinting through the rays and warmth, with the largest grin imaginable (like one so big it barely fits on my face). it never ceases to amaze me how my mood can literally change from grey to white rays of sunshine :) just like the sky today. today i'm happy! genuinely, simply, authentically happy.

Day 307/365

The Winter Solstice...
the shortest day and longest night of the year. Our little town is blanketed with a heavy snow. The winds are coming out of the East, which means more of a chill in the air. I attempted to "catch" the heavy snow falling from the power lines... unsuccessful. 
 I went to the park today at lunch. Bundled up in my coat, gloves, and winter boots . The snow falling from the sky, visions of autumn no more. The sky is grey and the sun seems farther away. Fitting I guess...
The "bright" side is this is it. After tonight, things will be a little brighter for a little longer.

"Thaw" for Sunday Creative... The snow storms keep rolling in, and the sun manages to shine through :).

My plate is full and my cup is empty these days. All that being said, I'm grateful for the bountiful blessings.

Max calls it "THE BOOK" and its the Wal Mart Ads for christmas. He dances in the living room when he "finds it". Then climbs up on the couch, (his blankie near by) inspecting each and every single page.
