Grace in Small Things

See for yourself:

Day One (02-27-2009): 1. Keri Noble's If No One Will Listen 2. a tiny taste of Spring rain this morning 3. Enjoying Hotel for Dogs with Stef 4. finding $5 in my jacket pocket 5. unexpected laughter

Day Two: 1. Time to write 2. A warm just out of bed snuggle with Stef 3. squeaky clean bathroom 4. my black yoga pants are clean (yeah!) 5. a warm white hoodie

I do have great ideas sometimes ... just haven't found the "key" to unlocking any kind of self-discipline to follow through on anything that has to do about me ... but there's an old cliche that goes "if at first you don't succeed ... try, try again" ... so here we go ...

Day Three: 1. Discovered "new" words so beautiful they've taken my words away 2. it's not as cold as yesterday 3. a morning to myself 4. Stef has a call-back voice audition today 5. finished "Summer House" by Nancy Thayer ... still feeling warm from a wonderful read

Day Four: 1. Soleil razors 2. Fluffly snowflakes 3. hot coffee 4. an extra hug 5. "squeaky" snow

Day Five: 1. Band Hero 2. Timmies 3. preheated car on an icy cold day 4. family 5. the smell of clean laundry

Day Six: 1. Cheese pizza 2. Belly laughs 3. Speed dial 4. warm boots 5. mittens

Day Seven: 1. Goggle chat 2. wild berry yogurt 3. scarves 4. sunshine on a cold day 5. Peanut Butter


Photography 101

Okay ... so I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a class ... for beginner's like me. Guess I like the structure of someone else telling me how best to learn ...

So ... I've got to choose a colour and a thing to photograph daily for the next month. Since I've already played this game before ... I'll stick to "skies" because I've had fun looking at clouds and seeing what's up there ... and .... (drum roll please) ... I'll choose red (I know I went for something easy ... so sue me) ...

Hmmm ... maybe I should start another blog dedicated to this newest pursuit ... (what? another blog???)
