breathe...now smile: OLW January 2012

ah, so its been 31 days and my word and I have begun to gel together. I'm liking my choice of word and it feels right for me, for now. It is a much better fit that last years word. Last year I never even got around to taking a picture. So this year, I'm one step further ahead already!

I had planned a few days in advance on taking my pic one particular morning, and then it turned out dd ended up having a friend over, so rather than put it off and wait for that 'perfect' time, I just moved forward and went with it. I pulled out the tripod and took a few pics. Well, that drew the curiosity of two four year olds, and once I was done, they had their own mini photo shoot. It was such a fun morning with the two of them moving the tripod around and posing.

I can't help but think of how waiting for the 'perfect right' time often leads to so many missed opportunities that we never knew were there. And really, what is a perfect time anyway... time to let that notion go and move forward.

A theory has only the alternative of being right or wrong. A model has a third possibility: it may be right, but irrelevant.
