I don't know why I am finding this post so hard to write. I have been thinking about it all day. Alright enough whining on my part, I'll get to it.
Low's:
Losing my great aunt
Tornado season this year and my poor state.
Losing two relationships of people really close to me
Not being there when my latest nephew was born
High's
My daughter and all her accomplishments this year - THE BEST!
Working on the musical's
My real life friendships I have maintained.
Volunteering where and when I can
Starting this blog and meeting all of you - HUGE HIGH!!!
My high's have far exceeded my low's this year. I am so very happy about that. I am just so stinkin proud of my daughter and her amazing year.
Starting this blog has been one of the best things ever. I have met some really great people that I have gotten to know through the months. I feel like you girls are almost a part of my family. I talk about you all to people I know, like I actually have laid eyes upon you. I cannot wait to get to know you all even more.
Day 17: Centered - Two things that relax me and center me....
Baking and taking pictures. This was my very first food picture I took for photography school. The school loved it so much that they have it hanging in their break room. I feel centered while baking. Oh, and the cookies are in the center of the plate (just to cover all the bases of 'centered'
This is part of the June Blog Challenge found over at Paula's Place.
I enjoyed your list. I think it's probably hard to write about "the lows" because those are things that make us feel vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw WOW that photo is spectacular!
I agree. It is hard to write about the lows. Thank you. I think it is one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken.
DeleteHurray! Great when the highs exceed the lows. That's phenomenal. :D Yep, determined to use smilies even if they do look wonky. hehehe
ReplyDeleteHaha!!! I love the wonky smiles. :) They make me smile looking at them.
Deleteawwwww, every time you write about your daughter, i think about one day having my own kids and being proud of them like you are of your daughter :D
ReplyDeleteI believe that you will Jasmine. Elexis continues to amaze me every day. We have our head butting situations too, but for the most part it's good.
DeleteI love your picture. I know that we will one day get to meet! And then I will have a new 'high' to add to my list. I am glad I found you
ReplyDeleteAww. Paula, that is so sweet. I look forward to the day we can. It will definitely be a high. I am glad I found you too!!
DeleteExcellent picture!! I can count on one hand the times I have attempted to bake--so let's just say, I suck at it :)
ReplyDeleteHaha!! My mother in law is the same way. She knows to ask me to bring the baked goods. :) Thank you.
DeleteI would never have guessed you have been blogging for under a year ! I am glad blogging is a HIGH for you, it is for me too x Lisa x
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Lisa. I like the outlet of being able to get all of the words that are in my head, on to my computer. I am so glad that I get to read your blog and learn more about you.
DeleteNice list of highs, glad you let them take power over the low. Happy to be getting to know you better each and every day. Gonna add you to my blog log so when the challenge is over we'll be able to visit back and forth easily.
ReplyDeleteHighs and Lows
Yay! I will add you as well. I am happy to get to know you better as well. That is why I am glad that I blog.
DeleteI'm in Texas...we should meet! :) We're like neighbors! There has to be a Cracker Barrel between here and there and half way! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you haven't had many lows... they really suck the life out of you, ya know?
We are headed to Great Wolf in a couple of weeks? Any closeness to you? Yes, the lows do!!
