I Believe in HOPE

Today, I am HOPEFUL for you because you're on this new and exciting life path.
My HOPE is that you discover your inner strength and continue to push through.
My HOPE is that you continue to reach out.
My HOPE is that one day you'll know how proud I am of you. So proud!
My HOPE is that when you find it you hang on tight and never lose sight of it.
But most importantly,
My HOPE is that months from now as you relfect on today, you'll know in your heart that you did the right thing.

Nostalgic

Last night, I had a dream with my deceased Grandmother. She was sitting down waiting, I went to her and hugged and kissed her. In her ear I whispered, "Why did it take you so long to get here?" She didn't answer me. She never does.

Impressive

Last night,

I heard a Buddhist monk say: "Pain --emotional or physical-- starts in our minds." I've been thinking about that statement all day.

Sunday Afternoon

These are little packets of light & you need to plant them early in the year & remember to mark where they were because lots of times they look like weeds in the beginning & it's not until later that you see how beautiful they really are.

The In Between

Some of my favorite pictures are the "in betweens."
The "in betweens" are the pictures in between the posed pictures. It's the instant people relax after hearing the shutter go off. For that quick second, they forget about me and my camera.

Don't you get the feeling that Noah is SERIOUS about his game?!?! If I had to guess what he's thinking: "No Excuses. Just Do It." It's written all over his cute little face.
