christmas portrait winter 2006

I rarely like a photo of myself - but I really do like this one of us. We just set the self timer on the canon elph. Hubby has a good eye - he scoped out the spot.

I even liked this enough to give it to the family this christmas. I don't think I've given them but maybe 2-3 photos of myself (and one was a wedding photo) since I've been in my 30's.

Anyhow - here it is. December in Kansas and we hiking in a short sleves.

Today (december 30) it has been raining - just a light drizzle - I would have enjoyed the cool mist - but I've been under the weather all day my body not cooperating in many ways despite my restrictive diet

christmas card blue version DSC_0287

Merry Christmas

This was teh card we sent out. If yours didn't make it in the mail - I apollogize for being a slacker. Things are busy at work this year - and home....well sometimes you have 4 days to knit christmas hats and mits for your entire family....

I hope everyone had a great holiday - ours was nice. Mostly quiet. And I mostly did ok with all of the pregnancies around, mostly.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
