moon 2
Hi - so I haven't posted in a while - I've been taking my daily picture - with the exception of one day when I was very tired and comming down with a cold - so I forgot. Anyhow - they are all over on flickr - go check them out.
I was moaning about the trouble fo getting a good photo on a work day - wondering what I could do that was new or at least interesting. Well, when I arrived home hubby had fixed my tripod with his new screwdriver set. Well, that settled it given that the lovely moon was full. This is the best series of moon shots I've been able to get to date - I put the tripod on full tilt - and up on a table - then I stoood on some chairs to focus... Happy day.

There were 3 of these lil deer I was tracking. I finally got what I came for and could go home. I can never get enough of these lovely creatures.

states...
i'm happy to hear that obama won another primary today. The thing is I like hillary and as a woman I do feel a little guilty not supporting her - but I think obama gets more of the young and other people who don't usually vote excited enough to come out and vote - which means more votes for democrats - and I believe he will be more diplomatic. I believe both would make a good president - but I believe obama would be more effective. I seldom put my political opinioin out there in cyber space - but here I am spouting off. This is the first time in a while I've been excited about and candidate rather than just voting against the opposition. The first time I heard an interview with Obama I really liked him and hoped he would run for president. I am so happy that he is. I really want to believe in our country that we can be good again after almost 8 years of being ugly americans. 8 years of not caring about the poor, not caring about human rights, just not caring. It's time America to again show that we care.
In an unrelated matter the map below shows what states I've visited in my life. For some reason it cuts off when I post it here - well I really did it for my own benefit. I wanted to see where else in the states I needed to visit. Some of the places I really remember very little (like New York, the Dakotas, Nevada, Tennesee) becuase I was so little. Other places like Oregon, Washington, Colorado, South Carolina, New Mexico and Arizona... I remember well and love.

Day 260/365 in Project 365 started April 25 2007
Grattitude: I'm grateful to be working indoors today. I listened to a talk about health disparities for Native Americans hisotorically and currently today. It reminded me how blessed I am to have good health care, and that my parents and grandparents have good health care. I am also fortunate to work with people who are trying to work to change health disparities.

Project 365 Day 259
Grattitude: I am happy i decided to take the camera to work this morning. I am grateful that we were able to get an AWD car to replace hubby's truck when it broke - so that we both have a safe vehicle to drive to work when the roads are ice and snow covered. I am grateful for anti-lock brakes which helped me in the intersection today!

Day 257 of 365 in Project 365 started April 2007
Gratitude: I'm grateful my hubby cooks and that we are both willing to try new things - and even willing to take the risk that sometimes they won't be what we expected - sometimes on the other hand they will be even better than we'd hoped. I'm grateful to be loved.

Gratitude Today I am grateful for the gift of this beautiful bead. The swirls are exactly what I've been attracted to lately. I was looking at some of Andy Goldsworthy's work this weekend and feeling especially attracted to the spirals - then today I was given this wonderful bead with spirals and bluish black dots.

Day 254 of Project 365
This pictures was taken in the hopes that hubby will do a paiting of him some day.
Grattitude: I'm grateful I got to spend the day with my hubby when I thought he'd be sleeping all day due to working tonight. We discovered "The Mixx" a few weeks ago - went there today it's a great lunch place - nice fresh tossed salads made to order and wonderful soups. Soup is one of my favorite foods. Then we looked at Andy Goldsworthy books at the store while having coffee. This guy was perusing a magazine and his face just begs to be photographed don't you think?
Portraits aren't so much my thing but unitl I go outside I'll practice the occasional enviornmental portriat since I'd like to be able to take good travel photos should I ever get to travel....

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? )
