If I accept that it can never be, what will that mean?

Day 2 of 365. working on acceptance. searching for meaning when the meaning i thought I'd sought has drifted from my grasp. Wondering what now? We may have a hand in making our own reality -but right now I kind of feel like I'm blind and the raw matrials have been switched up on me. Starting over from scratch? not quite. We'll see what evolves.

week 1 self portraits - 52 weeks

day 1 of 365 project
week 1 of 52 weeks self portraits. I'm pretty nervous about the self portriats. I do much better behind the camera than in front of it. I will learn to be in front as it will make me better behind. I will get comfortable with this.
this is also serving the dual purpose of tracking my fitness goals. By Jan 1 2013 I plan to have some smoking hot self portriats to post.

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? )
