. . .the joys of the season ~
It's never hard to find something we want, something currently out of our reach, or something lost. Like a lot of other people I have spent too much time in my life mourning wishes and losses. While doing that we all miss opportunities for happy moments and joy with the people and blessings we do have in our lives.
Especially at this time of year we can get so involved in getting ready for Christmas we sometimes miss out on the holiday completely if we're not careful. I have been as guilty of that as the next guy too, but for the last few years hubby and I have been trying not to lose ourselves in such efforts. We have tried to focus on time together and with our family. We have been happier doing that.
We still celebrate, give and receive gifts, and we still decorate... [albeit in a much simpler way ~ out of necessity]. We are trying to focus on the reasons for the celebration itself. In honor of that idea, for the rest of this month I will be trying to capture with my camera lens some of what we associate with Christmas and New Years. Please feel free to catch that series of photos on my 365 project blog.
I am winding down on my project. I will be done on the 31st and since hubby gave me the camera last year for Christmas it seems only fitting that I spend these last few days capturing some of the holiday spirit that prompted him to give me a gift that has helped me grow this last year outside my own comfort zone. Next year I will be choosing a new way to share my joy at owning such a nice camera, more on that next month.
