As I sit and write, it's stormy outside my window. The first storm of the new year; a year only 18 hours old and full of promise. I try not to resolve to do anything particular this year as I have a full list of failed resolutions behind me. Don't we all do it? We resolve to quit smoking, to eat better, to exercise, to be better people... and by January 3, we're in our cars, having a smoke while driving to some unknown fast food joint and yelling at the other cars in our way. Not me, of course - I quit smoking long ago (the rest I'll admit to).
I can tell you that last year was an interesting one, but I'm glad to have it over with and begin fresh. It was a year of promise (my new photography adventure, how exciting!), a year of new beginnings (weddings and babies for friends), a year of struggle (a loved one battling cancer), a year of strength and resolve (beating cancer with grace and optimism!), a year of family (the ones nearby and the ones away) and friends who are full of support and love.
It's time to put 2009 to bed and to look forward to the unknown possibilities for 2010, but first a thank you. Thanks for stopping in and checking out my little blog. I don't know who you are, but I know you're stopping in. Thanks to those of you who leave comments (I love blog love!). Thanks to my family and friends for supporting me (and for being my guinea pigs when needed). Thanks to those who have trusted me to capture the moments in their lives, it's been an honour and I am humbled by it.
And so we move on 2010. Let's embrace it and make it one to remember!

I de-stressed...
...mostly with cookies and/or Pomtinis.
lol I kid! Although I did have cookies (Christmas cookie parties rock!) and I did have the odd Pomtini (pomegranate and vodka cooler - I totally recommend these to those legal enough to try 'em).
And here we are, a week before Christmas. Is my shopping done? Nope, not yet. I just have a few things to pick up but I'm mostly afraid of braving the stores and dealing with crowds. Not my idea of fun. Neither is driving around the parking lots looking for a spot. The alternative - middle of the night shopping at the stores open for 24 hours. The problem with that? I like to sleep in the middle of the night.
I'm screwed. See you at the mall.

'tis the season...
to be stresssssed!
I shouldn't, but I do. And I'm feeling it these days, as I'm sure most people are. There's just not enough time in the day to get done what needs to be done.
And I'm having a difficult time saying no to people. I don't want to say no. But for now I have to, to keep the sanity, at least until after the holidays. For now my plate is full.

Life is short...
I had one of those reminders today, the ones that you hate to hear, that remind you that life is short and that things can change in an instant.
Today I am sad for my friend, sad that she and her family are making plans to bury her brother. Their lives were changed in an instant.
RIP Keith.

Fellow Photogs...
I love my little online network of photographers whose talent I covet. I follow their blogs faithfully looking for some inspiration and enlightenment. I've joined their facebook fan pages and even have some of them as facebook friends.
That sort of makes me sound like a stalker. But I'm not. I swear. I just want to soak up as much about the biz as I can. I'm always checking out blogs for new inspiration; if you're a fellow photog, let me know where I can stalk you and your fab work. Extra credit if you're local and want to grab coffee and talk shop sometime.
Happy Monday!
Is that an oxymoron or what! It's like the commercial where they tell you to "have a Happy Period." Um, yeah, that's going to happen.
