“Learn to say no to demands, requests, invitations, and activities that leave you with no time for yourself. Until I learned to say no, and mean it, I was always overloaded by stress. You may feel guilty and selfish at first for guarding your down- time, but you’ll soon find that you are a much nicer, more present, more productive person in each instance you do choose to say yes.” ~ Holly Mosier

What is she doing? by LKW

This is Week 34 of The 52 Project. This photograph is of one of my g’daughter, D. She is visiting for the day. After playing for a while she goes to the window, kneels, and settles down to watch. What is she doing? Is she studying something that has caught her attention, simply admiring the view, or is she patiently awaiting the arrival of someone? Only she knows.

Little Surfer Dude

Today is week 33 of The 52 Project. (I can’t believe that I have participated in the project for all but 2 or 3 weeks of the project.) This is a photograph of my g’son, B, who is on vacation with his family. He stands on the beach in his wet suit, like a little surfer dude ready to tackle the waves.. He is only three, but he seems to stand a bit taller, since he became a big brother about 1 ½ months ago.
