Bookworm

It’s been bothering me a lot lately. How many books we have. Or, I should say, I have. Most of the books in our library are mine.

details of today

Lots of fun things to look at today, starting with a gorgeous sunrise. An ancient record player and its 45, which gave us scratchy music for square dancing in Zozer's PE class. And keys for our temp home, since we started with only one for the front door and M left it at work last night. All in all, a pretty fine day.

pennies

34:365Zoe glued 100 pennies onto posterboard to celebrate her 100th day of school. I've got examples of other students' projects, but this is my photo for today. Because it makes me think of her, and the memory of working on this with her the weekend we moved. It makes me smile. (Note that the pennies are all tails-up. She is, after all, her father's daughter.)

focus

33:365I chose "focus"'as my one little word this year, and my mama got me this necklace for Xmas. I wear it daily. I chose focus because I knew that while 2012 is going to be awesome, it's also going to be insane and busy and frantic and trying. I want to remember throughout this year to remain focused on what is really important. A secondary reason is that I'm attempting my first 365. A photograph a day for a year. I'm using the iPhone for this, as I recognize my time limitations are higher than ever right now. Using the iPhone frees me up to shoot the details of my everyday life, regardless of where I am, simply because I always have my phone with me. And I can shoot, edit, and post in under a minute, which will NEVER happen with a dslr. So here's to focus, in all its beautiful shades of meaning.
