Waiting

 

I took this photo well waiting for my doctor.  It was just really a follow up to see how the medicine he gave me last time was working.   I am not going to get better only worse.  It gets frustrating to think about that the rest of my life will have pain.  When I got migraines under somewhat control, I thought now...now I can live. But now I am coming to terms with living even if I am in pain. I don't want the pain to always stop me. I know if I push one day means the next I am in bed. But sometimes that might be worth it.  It is just about weighing the options and knowing what is going to be best for me in the long run. But no more waiting for living my life.  Just need to accept this is life and do my best with each day.

Street Art in Denver

When we were in Denver, we drove past the street art again. I noticed one of the murals had changed. Top photo is before and bottom photo is what it looks like now. I love the changes to it, but just so interesting to see how it transformed.

June Photos

I try to take photos everyday and here is just a small collection of them. I use the app Collect to keep track of my daily photos. I think it is a great way to help organize for Project Life too as it offers space to write about the photos and title them so when you sit down you can use it to remember and help trigger what you wanted to capture in life.

A Thousand Years

52 Week Photo Project: Week 26

Inner Excavation

I am taking an afternoon to start in with Inner Excavation again. I want to do the tasks. So sitting at a local coffee shop and reading and writing.

















Taking notes, using little flags to remember important passages.

Writing poetry....I begin.

I am thankful for...
1. Having a poetry night under the moon light sky with my love
2. Waking my love up at 3am to look at the Super Moon
3. Getting time at my art table even if it was to get the pain in my body out on paper
4. Having a beautiful library to spend time in relaxing and reading
5. Breakfast for dinner

Street Art

I posted a photo of Denver street art for Week 23 of my 52 Week Photo Project.  Here is a collage of several of pieces of the street art.

Library Remodel

Our library moved in the spring to another location to do a remodel of the existing building.  They re-opened this week and it turned out really nice. (The library I go to is Mesa County Central Library.)

The top 2 photos are pieces of art by artists we know, but all of the art throughout the building is really good.  There is a piece behind the check out counter that I really love, but couldn't get a good photo of it because there were so many people there with the grand reopening. This first photo is of a piece called Green Jelly Beans by Mary Mansfield and the second piece is I think Dream of Trees by Diana Woods.

The third photo is just of the lights - I really liked them, but really hard to capture them on photo. They are much prettier in person.  The last photo is of the patio.  The screens to let light on to the patio are made to look like book shelves.

I wasn't able to get many photos as it was just so crowded.
