A new day...

I have always thought of myself as a positive upbeat individual but lately I feel like I am the opposite…so, Today I start a new day…one that I am going to focus on the positive things in my life. I am going to start each morning with a gratitude list. 3 Things, each day. In doing so I hope to incorporate my photography into this list…if and when possible I will post a picture that correlates with my list. So…Today I am grateful for…
1. My husband…he is a wonderful man. He has supported me through my hard times and moody times. Last night he just let me cry and talk about somethings that have taken place in my life recently…he truly loves me unconditionally. He is an effective communicator and has help me improve in that department (and I have a lot of improving to do!). So Thanks to my Pete, who’s name is Tim.
2. The silly jokes my son shares with me from his joke book. I bought him this book last summer and it is just filled with silly jokes. When he reads it he always shares jokes from it with me..and he then shows me the joke in the book, I guess in case I want to read it again.
3. Fall weather in Arizona…okay, so Arizona doesn’t have a fall…but I love the weather here this time of year! Perfect days in my opinion. The evenings are starting to get cold and it’s time to throw another quilt on the bed to cover up at night…perfect cuddle weather!

Dose of Inspiration...

For the past few days I have been working on my application for graduate school. Part of the application requires a personal statement of 500 plus words. I have had the hardest time getting started with this statement. I have tried several different angles but nothing would flow as I would like it to. When I write something I have to have some sort of inspiration to get going...when I do my writing just starts to flow. Once I found a source of inspiration I was able to get started but still was having a difficult time in completing the process, so today I took a mental break from the statement and went outside to enjoy the beautiful Phoenix weather we are blessed with during this time of year. I packed my camera bag and headed to Discovery Park in Gilbert. What falls is the result of this break...and I am happy to say that it worked...I came home afterwords and was able to finish the statement. Now I just have a few finishing touches to the application and I can submit it and wait (so much fun!) The first photo is what got my brain into writing gear...what follows the redhead is what came from an afternoon of seeking inspiration...hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
