I photographed this for the 'Our Daily Challenge' Group. The theme today (Feb 2, 2011) was "Quoted".
"A new year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other"
I am not one to have resolutions, but this year I made one to read more. I started out the year with the ultra popular Twilight series and have now become a "16 year old fanatic." LOL. The series was very good. I enjoyed it very much and miss it now that I am done. I have moved on to reading Pillars of the Earth and I am thinking about re-reading the entire Harry Potter series. I also have the Sookie Stackhouse series and the Shopaholic series on my list of things to read.
Looks like this resolution will be a piece of cake, but I couldn't have really failed. Reading 1 book would have been a success...haha.
Woody Guthrie's 33 (!) New Years Resolutions that he made in 1941 (for 1942) give us a view of an optimistic, serious, sensitive, funny man. Just dealing with the nine I chose to print here present a challenge but nearly 70 years on can't we all feel the resonance/relevance of the last one?
29 inches x 10 inches printed on newsprint
I've resolved to read more trashy books this year...starting with this double-header in January. The Jacqueline Susann is the much better of the two (no surprise). Angelique is not nearly as tawdry as the cover promises...so far the heroine has shot someone (exciting!), but mostly just blathers on about Quebec.
Any trashy recommendations?
For too long a time now I work in spurts of organization...I have been 80% organized untl the twins but 3 years of being sic(preggo) and no sleep 18monts later..My organization has slipped away and and Mounting into monumental proportions..(to me)I am overwhelmed. I keep stumbling with flylady and know that each stumble set me up for today> TODAY right now I am making a WHOLE HEARTED commitment to myself,myfamily,myhusband,myfamily,friends,and the Mother Earth.... to NOT be a PERFECTIONIST and to take ONE step at a time.
I will Declutter,Reuse,Recycle,Stop buying needlessly,Reduce my foot print. I am integrated every tiny bit helps..one step at a time
I intend on having a harmonious,Warm,Magical,Romantic,Enriching,CLEAN to every corner.(not in one day or at one whole time) Beautiful HOME to Grow my little ones in warmth of Heart and Spirit. Doing this will give me TIME with them, ME, Hubby, Connection time with Friends Family...
I will have time to CREATE and My Heart will Sing since there's no trace of"guilt" for fear I a not doing something eles or not deserving this time.
I will make this fun for me by embellishing my FLY Baby Steps...so my GEMINI twins will play and pick up!
Here I go to Shine my sink I am jumping in!
...and also learn about composition, perspective, light, exposure, aperture, speed, white balance, metering modes, color, lenses, filters, built-in/fill-in flash, action shots, night shots, low light shots, low key, high key (find a place to always leave my keys!), portraits, landscapes, hdr, orton, photoshop..... and a lot more that I don't remember right now..... and I count on you to help me!
Thank you very much for your friendship, kindness, tips, advices and I hope I get a lot more this next year.
Love,
Eda
