just one minute to go....

And it is over. Phew. One minute to go. I was trying for something different. As always my most willing model jumps in to assist.




Thanks for playing. I'm a wee bit thankful for August. I think Kona might be too.

Two posts left.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This picture is worth two. Do you think she was tiring of me? I think she was saying, "Enough." Actually, starting off she was really shy, so this was a breakthrough. I'll take it. I love this shot.
And with one more day left of the blog challenge, I thought you would like it too.

Life is lived in the small moments.

I have found that I have been much happier since I began focusing on my life in small moments rather than days and weeks on end. Children are capable of this. They seem for the most part content right where they are. I remember the small moments of my morning; the nice guy at Starbucks who gave me a break when I struggled to order the right cup of mocha, the guy behind him who offered to grind coffee for me and had me completely lost when he described about ten different ways to grind it.
Finally, with a blank look, I said"drip?" Thankfully, he knew what to do. The woman in line behind me commented that she liked my shoes, I said "thank you" and then realized later her shoes were much nicer than mine; should have offered a trade. The stranger who offered a smile. My point here is that I live moment by moment. I suppose that really means being in the present. It really does make a difference. I am beginning to notice life differently now. I notice all the small things, all the details, all the moments.

Have many wonderful moments tonight.

my "pick" for the day.

Happy Monday. Another short blog post. I'm out of coffee. That's bad news for me. I've got the "it's Monday and I'm out of coffee" blues.






Hope your day is loaded with great music and caffeine!
