And so it shifts....

Life is unpredictable. It wouldn't work any other way. As life moves in new directions, goals decisions, and even resolutions also must shift.

When I made this resolution to take one photo a day, I only anticipated a school getting in my way. Since this resolution I have been proposed to, found out my grandma has cancer, started one of the heaviest semesters of my college career, chosen a wedding date, and begun planning a wedding. All of this while trying to get homework done and do what I was put on this earth to do....DANCE. It is too much. I enjoy a challenge, but I don't want my resolution to document my life to turn into a chore that I have to get done. How is that creative? SO, my resolution must shift. I am already in the habit of taking more photos than I used to. I enjoy the challenge and I take my camera everywhere. Instead of forcing myself to take one photo a day, I am only asking myself to document my life a couple times a week. Whenever a photo opportunity presents itself, I will be ready!

With this in mind, I will now finish updating. A game of catch-up is never any fun....

No words....

Only pictures...I need to catch up. I am afraid that life has thrown me several unplanned situations that have increased my stress and decreased the amount of time that I have to keep my new year's goals in check. I am bummed about the fact that I have fallen asleep more than one night without snapping a photo....but I refuse to give up just yet. No more words, only
pictures....a lot of pictures.

Valentine's Day, a brilliant, memorable day indeed!*again, my photo idea and someone else's finger pressing the button, I promise it still counts as my creativity!*

This is all I will leave you with for now. I have a feeling that the entire year will be one game of catch-up after another. Until next time!....
