This is me (apparently a flat-chested version of me - where did my boobies go?!?!) and my doggie.

He's my Prince. His name is Fred. His nose is always cold, he slobbers, he likes nothing more than to jump his total 62lbs in my lab, woof at random nothings and sleep on my side of the bed.

Today was a good day. My Blackberry - which broke yesterday - is being replaced and the shipment should be here tomorrow.

I got a lot done at work.

I got a raise.

I got my insurance card and info.

Other good things happened, from the moment I woke up until now, because I am alive and aware enough to be grateful.

I rearranged my side of the bedroom, helped put the pingpong table in the shed and cleaned a BUNCH.

I also centered myself and meditated. It's been too long since I have done this and it was showing.

Sunday was a mess of wasted efforts and inefficiency. I gotta work on my Sundays.

The day after Thanksgiving I went to work. It was the most peaceful Bus and Tri-Rail rides ever. It was not a bad day at work. And at home I got turkey and pumpkin pie souffle.

Yummy.

yay!
14/100

This is #14 in my 100 strangers assignment. Check out the 100 strangers website to see more pictures and people working on the same assignment!

Took a bunch of photos at a shoot my husband set up. They were all strangers and I interacted with this kid more than anyone so I am TOTALLY counting this. I had all of 15 minutes with this family.

This was my favorite overall moment. This kid about made me pee myself. Seriously and the family was laughing at me telling him to stop and laughing.

I am just glad I got this shot.

I REALLY need to work on my composition with people (because of my nerves and my urge to stomp my own creativity during shoots just to get it over with and stop being nervous).

I did however work very well with the kids, the parents and the weather/lighting/setting, etc.

This is my favorite. This family consisted of my neighbors, their kids, her mother (and her husband) and her uncle (and his wife and kids).

All the kids got together and I had to bribe them. I told them they could do two silly pictures after they did two boring nice shots for the old folks.

They were more than happy to oblige.

I ate too much. Notes show you what this is, as if you didn't know.

Since this day is used as a reminder to be grateful for the things you have and to contemplate the path that you've traveled, I woke up and planned and meditated. It felt good.

On the more contemplative side.

31 more days and I will have finished my first 365. Yeah, I missed a few days and that defeats the purpose for most, but I stopped sending this in to the group.

I have only been doing it for me. To map out a year in my life. To show myself how much can change, how much you can accomplish, how some good things last longer than you think, and the bad things don't last as long.

So enjoy your days. Enjoy your family. Love your loved ones and let go of the ones that aren't worth your time.

Try your best to be happy and enjoy the moments that are meant to be enjoyed. That's all we can demand from life with any real expectation of fulfillment.

Then live everyday to the fullest conviction, take full breaths, stop for a moment and listen and see the colors.
