I am excited for the holidays! Hannukah is early this year, (lined up with Thanksgiving), and since we also celebrate Christmas, (completely secular as half our family is not Jewish), it makes for a month of celebration.
I come from not being very thrilled about the holidays. I haven't decorated our house these last couple of years, and the whole celebration in general has felt both false and overwhelming.
I see progress with my photo editing skills and have finally breached the threshold of Lightroom. It has cut down significantly on my processing time and has made me less frustrated with my digital camera.
I love that we're pushing closer to the shortest day of the year. Which means we'll have a minute more of daylight every day there after.
I trust that despite my hesitation, I'm certain we'll have a good time at the New Years party we've been invited to again this year. (And I'm looking forward to wearing this pretty party dress.)
I believe in my husband who usually calls it like it is. He's always fair, if a bit brutal, and I've appreciated his advice lately.
I find myself playing on Google Maps, charting routes for a cross country road trip and deciding if 1)it's feasible to see all that I'd like to see, and 2)if I have the courage to actually make the trip alone.
I wonder if I'm making my mind maps 'right', after learning another's photography process during a weekend long intensive. I will say that I'm completely enamored with the Moleskine Japanese Album I've copied adopted.
I found out about a show called Dog the Bounty Hunter one morning at the gym. 45 minutes passed by in what seemed like seconds. I was completely mesmerized by the closed caption text and the images before my eyes. This show, combined with my workout playlist was a perfect combination to help me get the job done.
I call in and upon these wise words from Brene Brown in my darkest moments,
What's the greatest risk? Letting go of what people think -
or letting go of how I feel, what I believe, and who I am?
