Day 1

Since the 1st began in the latter part of the week, I actually started on Dec. 28th.
The thaw is happening. I will miss the beauty of the snow, the way it made me feel quiet and comforted...

So now what?

I was inspired by Becky Higgin's to start a project that chronicles a year in my life through pictures and a little journaling. You can find out more information through her blog or here.

Hope you will check in often to see how my life may be similar/different than yours.

I'll post from the last few weeks tomorrow....
