Day 32 - 2/1/13 - Good Day, Sunshine

I'm not sure what it is about this picture, but it moves me.  It's funny how art and photography can be so subjective.  I showed this to my husband and he said, "It looks like a big ball of light."  After many eye rolls and sighs, I laughed.  To me it reminds me of the innocence of childhood.  When you sat down with a piece of white paper and your yellow crayon and drew a big yellow circle with lines coming out of it to represent the sun....

Day 22 - 1/22/13 - Blue Skies

I was born and raised in Delaware, lived in Maryland for four years, and then moved to Florida after I got married.  Although Florida is my home and I love it here, I can't help to feel like my home will always be Delaware.  I miss my family, I miss my friends, but I do not miss the cold or the gray, dreary skies of winter.  I took this picture from my backyard on a warm, sunny January day.  I never realized how much I was affected by the seasons until I moved to Florida.  There is something to be said about having sunshine every day - good for the soul, good for the spirit.  I always say everything happens for a reason.  Although the heartache of missing my family is overwhelming at times, I couldn't think of a better place to be.  I have so many blessings here in Florida - a supportive husband that works so hard to provide for his family, two beautiful children, incredible in-laws, a job that I love, a great group of friends, and sunny blue skies!  Life is good!

Day 3- 1/3/13 - Bloom

This year instead of making a resolution, I made goals and a plan for the new year.  I had so many things to include, but I picked my four most important.  So here goes...

1.  Do a load of laundry, fold, and put it away immediately at least every other day.

2.  Keep fresh flowers in the house.

3.  Practice patience in all aspects of my life!

4.  Organize, organize, organize!!!

Now, some of you might say that #2 is silly but look at these pictures!  Flowers are beautiful and it makes me happy to get a bouquet every week or every other week.  So, I included it in my top four because it's important have random things in your life that make you happy.
