moments captured

isaac and ted - 2/366

Life goes by at all too fast a break neck speed. Finding time to be still and reflect on all the moments that string together the days of my life is something I am careful to make time for. It may be cliché, but in a blink of an eye I know these moments will be gone and we’ll be on to the next “big and important” thing. And so my motto has always been to slow life down as much as possible, and to take things in with each breath, so that I may never forget them.

Last year I thought I would undertake a  365 Photo “challenge” – documenting my mornings with a photo each day. (You can still see these images under the tab at the top of the blog marked “365 mornings.”) The idea behind this was to help me get up in the morning, as I’ve never been a morning person. I did well, for about 45 days. Okay it’s official – I’m not a morning person. But I’m also not a quitter and so I thought I would try again this year, but instead of focusing on mornings specifically, I’d like to share a moment from my day; a moment that captures that special something in the way we live.  There may very well be words, but I’m guessing more often than not these images will stand on their own (except for whatever I choose to title the image). Nothing more than a photograph offering the viewer a deeper glimpse into who we are, as individuals, as a family.

I’m curious as to how this will all play out come the end of 2012 – perhaps an album gathered of moments captured in the quietness of a day, making up a year in the life of us. Oh yes. I do think this will be fun.

Namaste,
Debbie

edited to add – I’ve just been reminded it’s a leap year…so I get 366 moments to share. Bonus.
