Reflection

So here we go. I have managed to post a picture for January 1st. Good start. I figured I would completely abandon this project if I couldn’t even make it for the first day. I really want to do this. I really want to have a photo every day, just like back in the olden days.

This year I have decided to streamline my life. I will be unsubscribing to numerous forums, cutting back on the number of sessions that I will be doing, a generally de-cluttering my life. With every forum I subscribe to I say “Just one more, what can it hurt?” but before I know it I am at 15 more.

Another resolution is to try and be a better friend. I get consumed with my life and forget about all of the people out there that I need to be talking to. I have friends in Canada, Ireland, the U.K., Panama, and across the US that I need to stay in contact with. I have been telling Mike that I will call him for the last year and a half. Dang it.

My personal resolution, though, is this. My PaD. I am doing it for me, and for some of you. I am doing it because I really enjoy it. I enjoy finding things that would make cool pictures and making them into cool pictures. I enjoy taking pictures of things other than kids, though I do still love doing that. I enjoy writing and venting and going back to re-read them after the year is done.

So here it is. Day 1 of my resolution. A reflection in every sense of the word. Hopefully the start of me getting back to me. So much has happened over the past year or two. New people in my life. New things that I am excited about. All waiting to be introduced to you. Those of you that are friends with me on Facebook know much of this. Very few of you know all of it. Here’s to an exciting year to be documented here. The anticipation is killing me.
