Self Portrait

Week #4 and surprisingly I am still in it!

And even though I really did not want to post a self portrait, 

I am breaking out of my comfort zone to do so!

Happy shooting!

 

I Dreamed a Dream

Everybody dreams.

Everybody has hopes for the future.

When I saw the theme for this week I immediately knew what I wanted to take a picture of...

It's a table? you may ask.

But it is not just any table.  At this table have been multiple family meals, countless discussions, tears cried and joys shared.

At this table we have scrapbooked.

At this table we have made Christmas candy.

At this table mom has helped each of us make posters and teaching visuals for college classes.

At this table we have prayed together.

At this table we have held many dinner parties and served countless friends.

At this table we have done crafts and science fair projects.

At this table we have played games.

At this table a family has grown together.

I have dreamed a dream that someday I too will have a table like this one.

I have dreamed a dream that someday we will all gather back round this same table with our extended families and reminisce on all the memories made.

I dream a dream...

Made w/love:

It was simple gesture, but nonetheless one of love.

Friday nights are often homemade pizza night at home.

My mom makes the most amazing and delicious pizza,

and usually we just stick with your basic toppings.

Last night I mentioned how I love supreme pizza.

I came home from work tonight with a headache

 and quite starved.

When I walked in the door,

 I was greeted with an amazing aroma... 

Mom's homemade pizza.

And, a supreme one made just for me.

Truly it is the simple things that make my day!

Resolution

 A resolution is a determining course of action.

This year I want to push myself to be better in every area of life.

I want to learn patience and take time to cherish those I hold dear.

I don't want to take the good times for granted, nor be afraid of difficulties.

Because when you stop and look around this life is pretty amazing!

Excited about joining in this year's Project 52 with Darcy.
