13.

making my way through 365.
here is morning
in my car
waiting for warmth.

cookies.

these are the best sugar cookies on the face of the earth.
and my sister has been making them
for as long as i can remember
from a recipe she got from my mom
who got it from a coworker
years and years ago.

sigh.

i took this in september
and it makes me miss blue skies and full trees
and oh we have a long winter ahead of us.
i should probably keep all photos like this
hidden.

first.

here is my first photo
for project 365.
taken with my new dslr
that i am still learning
how to use.
oh, and this year
i will also learn how to bake.

holiday.

instead of snow on christmas
there was ice.
thank goodness for
the lights, fire, and warmth
inside.

what is.

sometimes it's hard to avoid
dwelling on the "what if..."
and to just focus on
what is.
but i try.
and i'm thankful
for life and love and light.

nine twenty-five.

one year from today
this date
will mean so much
more.

tonight, we have a wedding to attend.
this weekend, caterers to meet.

one year
from today
