Day 30: Self-Portrait




Last day! Woo! This picture reminds me that I need a hurr-cut. Maybe sometime soon-ish...

This month has been a collection of good friends, food, and family. It went by so fast that I don't really know what happened. But now I have entries and pictures to remind me :)

So the challenge is completed. Again thank you guys for taking the time to look at my pictures and share my life with me! Now I'm going to find something to do outside since it's so gorgeous out. Have a good day :)

To be, or not to be.

Today I'm thankful for hazelnut lattes, bookstores, new jeans, laughter and ice cream.

Tomorrow: day off and laundry. I have to turn in my Berlin application by Sunday, and I still don't know if I want to go. ehhhh. I want to go to Europe someday, but I don't want to unintentionally use the mission trip as a vehicle for my personal desires. But how can you tell something like that? Honestly, I don't know if I belong on either trip. We shall see what transpires in the next few days.

Night :)

Day 29: Black & White



I think wood burning is one of my new favorite hobbies. Thanks Michael :)

On the top of the jewelry box I have "You make beautiful things out of the dust...", and I drew some other stuff on the sides. Now I think I might be addicted. I had to stop myself from adding other useless doodles all over it. Haha. Originally I had another picture of the box with my face in the mirror, but I figured that since tomorrow's picture is a self-portrait, that might be overdoing it. But it looked pretty cool, if I do say so myself... :)

The lyrics are from this song called "Beautiful Things" by Gungor, which always makes me happy when I listen to it. If you haven't heard it, take a listen!



Also, I can't believe the challenge is over tomorrow! It's been fun thinking in pictures. I'm going to start another one for sure, but I think I might take a week break so I don't get burned out. I don't know how many people actually read this blog that I've given the address too, but I really appreciate you guys taking this photo blog journey with me and giving me support and encouragement. :) It means a lot!! I hope you all have a wonderful day.

"If we hold on tight, we'll hold each other together...

...and not just be some fools rushing to die in our sleep."

Sometimes I'm afraid that I'll never find what I'm supposed to be doing in life. All those inspirational quotes about dreaming big feel just out of my reach, like they alienate instead of inspire.

What would I be happy doing for the rest of my life? I have absolutely no idea. But it seems like my list of what I don't want to do is getting longer and longer.

 I'm continually learning about trust. and patience. and peace.

Day 28: Flowers


The only flowers that exist in our vicinity are the ones inside our kitchen window. Which is convenient for the purposes of my picture-taking.


My mood is reflected in the overcast weather today. Which is strange, because normally I love this kind of weather. The way the clouds are ribbed and layered over a thin slice of white and bright blue looks pretty sweet, though.

Day 27: From a Distance



Can't beat that blue sky.
  
 I may or may not have been driving while taking this picture...skill? Maybe. Stupidity? Probably.


Today was a great day. Family time, wood burning, knitting, free massage, coffee and good time spent with friends. Love it.


 Also, we put our Christmas tree up today. Those LED lights are intense...but cool when they shine on the wall. Sometimes I just like to come sit by the tree at night and think. I'm getting excited for Christmas!


I wish I had more to say, but that's about it. Goodnight!

Day 26: Close-up


Man, I am tired. I feel like I just want to sit and stare at a wall for awhile. I blame retail. Lately I just feel like there is so much I want to do and so many people I want to see, but not enough time. Ironic that my picture is of a clock then...that wasn't my initial intention. I actually wanted to take a picture at work, but they didn't work out like I wanted them to. Oh well! I can't believe this challenge is almost over. Then I suppose it's on to the next one :) Night all!
