back in the office...
first day back...
during my vacation, i made a commitment to myself that i would move the 'operations' back to the actual office, as opposed to working from the couch in the living room. i got in that habit when my mother got sick and solidified it with the photo-hunt-word-of-the-day.
3+ years of bad work habits, after 22 yrs of good. that has taken a toll, adding stress to my life every day. i need to eliminate that stress. so i am back in the office, hoping this time it will stick :)
and i have fingernail polish on. been a long time since i had pretty nails :)

intentions :)
the challenge this week, at beyond layers, is based on a word that kim posts each day.
thursday, the word was INTENTIONS.
well, my intention with this blog was to photograph myself daily for a year, in hopes of discovering who i am, inside and outside, at 57 yrs old.
and then, to post them here so i can chronicle-ize my year :)
i have taken the photos almost every day, but the posting... not so much...
so again, i catch up.
and i re-commit to the goal.
it is one i believe in.

a bit behind...
i think i am over-committed...
i keep taking self portraits but my plan to post it every day has gone to hell.
so i am going to catch up bit by bit, and then get a better plan put together.
this is important to me and i think i will learn a lot.
May 3, Thursday...
reflections in the evening :)
May 2 Wednesday...
surrounded by cats, joey's chair empty...my first night in the house without him since 2008. at least this time, he is at cape cod, not the hospital... :)
May 1, Tuesday...
i went for a ride, looking to photograph the word 'distance' for the photo hunt word of the day. i needed it bad, it was a pleasure and i got nothing as far as pictures. i was ok with that. i think the photo hunt is pushing me over my limit...not sure yet
April 30 Monday...due date for chairman's award - quite a relief to get that behind me! i finally got home, sat down on my couch and did not want to take another picture for a while. but i did and isnt it lovely :)
April 28 Saturday... time for bed...
April 25 Wednesday...i spent thursday taking pictures - tons of pictures, to submit to the chairman's. i don't believe any of them were of me. however on wednesday, i took lots of me and marilyn :)

April 24, Tuesday...
this was a wonderful day, i loved it. we took pics all day long, very few were good but we had a great time. and the wind was absolutely awesome!
plus we watched a shoot for a nautica catalog on the beach in chatham.
and got a great shot in the bathroom window :)
April 23, Monday...
if i stayed married the first time around, this would have been my 35th wedding anniversary.
many years ago, i looked in the mirror at my life and realized i couldn't live this way and had the wisdom and courage to leave.
i honor both decisions on 4/23 each year -
i am proud for having gotten married and proud for having left.
for what is is worth,
i believe i am now caught up.
i took many pics and will post differently going forward.
its not about consecutive days, is it?
it's about who i feel i am at this point in my life.
or maybe it's about who i see myself becoming...
this is a work in progress and i am still working out the plan :)
