WONDER

December 4 – Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year? (Author: Jeffrey Davis)


With my camera.....

Who else do you know who has a rocking
chair in their backyard?

I love how the two floor patterns merge...inside to outside....

Water always makes for interesting pictures.

ONE WORD

December 1 - One Word.
Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you?
(Author: Gwen Bell)


When I look over all of 2010 and try to describe it all in one word, what comes up first is health issues...health problems...and how unhappy I feel about them all.  But really, what it all amounts to is FRUSTRATION.  It's so frustrating not to be able to do the things I want, frustrating to feel so blocked, frustrated to be so STUCK in this reality.  But synthesizing the whole of the year's experience, it is the frustration that stands out.  


So, what I hope for (and, really what that means is--I hope I strive for), is HEALTH.  I want to walk for the exercise even if my feet are hurting, write even though my thumbs are hurting, get up earlier even though I love sleeping in.  There is sooo much to look forward to in 2011; I want to be healthy enough to enjoy it all.

#Reverb10

I have known about the project #Reverb10 since last year sometime and was intrigued by it.  Over the months, for whatever reason, it's dropped off my radar. But I came across a tweet two days ago that referred to it and I'm once again enthralled with the concept.


I think it appeals to that same part of me that resonates with NaNoWriMo. And although I did piteously with NaNo this year (a mere 10,000 words, give or take a few hundred...depending on whether you count the embedded recipe and grocery list for that day!) I think the scope of the Reverb project is much more to my (dis)abilities.  


Let's see how I do!
