Photo Friday: At least I have chocolate!

(click thumbnail to enlarge)


Not sure you can see what I intended at the time I took this picture... though the time I took this picture was the point of the picture. 2:37am on Friday morning. I am still working. Yes, from Thursday morning. No end in sight and I'm thinking the kids will be up in the morning before I go down for the night. But hey, I know you can see the stack of Peanut Butter Cups. Sometimes, you've gotta find your own silver lining...


~*~*~ May you always remember to dance in the rain, and may you have plenty of ladybugs beside you! ~*~*~

Photo Friday: Tranquility


I took this picture early on an August morning at my favorite vacation spot in the world, the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Calm... peaceful... perfect, really. This picture always makes me stop and remember to slow down. Don't make waves, don't disturb a thing. Just take a deep breath and let the tranquility of the moment surround you.

~*~*~ May you always remember to dance in the rain, and may you have plenty of ladybugs beside you! ~*~*~

Photo Friday: And Still She Waves


Julie said it best in a recent post, that no one remembers where they were on September 10th. But September 11th, clearly, We Will Never Forget.

I know that it's September 12th already, but I clearly remember where I was and what I was doing 7 years ago today. I was on my couch where I'd been for 24 hours straight, glued to the TV, still in the same clothes I'd been wearing from the day before. Craig and I were talking about the friends, colleagues and mentors we already knew we'd lost, and praying for those we hadn't heard from yet. You see, 8 months earlier, I would have been coming into the Towers on the subway at the very time the first plane hit. The building I worked in was directly across the street.

Seven years later, I'm still not sure we can make sense of it all. We were at Ground Zero in July, and even though I've been there many times in the past few years, the shock of that gaping hole in the ground still doesn't wear off.

One thing I know, though, and one thing I praise God for, is that even on September 11 and every single day since, our flag still stands. Maybe a little more tattered, maybe a little more torn, but no less bright and no less beautiful. And still, she waves.
