Today was one of the best new year starts of all time!
First, lunch with friends with three major victories...1. sat in the back seat 2. fastened the seat belt with room to spare 3. sat in a booth with about 6 inches in front. All things I haven't been able to do in quite some time.
Second, a LONG 20 minutes walk with Lolly in the beautiful, sunny coldness! Victory #4...haven't been able to walk that far in ages. Lolly got tired before me!
Third, dropped off Lolly and went back out for 30 more minutes taking pictures! Victory #5...was able to stay out walking about for another 30 minutes! Victory #6...found out what was wrong with my Fuji FinePix camera that I have loved for these many years (it had been taking very blurry pics)....ready? Wait for it....THE CAMERA LENSE WAS FILTHY DIRTY!!! After noticing that through some sunshine pics, I cleaned it and VOILA! My camera is fixed. (much hanging and shaking of the head in disbelief.) I had never since I bought the camera cleaned the lense. Ah, we learn by experience, right?
Now, an evening of knitting, reading, talking with friends on the phone and reveling in 2 1/2 more days of "nothingness" until going back to school on Monday.
(Side note...the pic above was inspired by my art teacher neice, Kate. She always takes amazing photos and I thought of all I had heard her talk about artistic composition...note the different type of line shadows!)
Life and the Lord are good...very, VERY good!
