Day 23.
Every person, at some point in their life, needs a reminder. And I'm no different. Today, I almost forgot to take a picture of Randy (I can already hear Randy's fans gasping and tsk-tsking). So Randy decided to help me out - the guilt-free way.
When I walked into my room, I found Randy standing on my "Note to Self" notepad. He had made it seem like I made a note out to myself to remind myself of him.
I've learned my lesson. For all of you who come to see what Randy is up to each day, remember this one! Let it serve as your note to yourself to see Randy each and every day (as least for the next 342 days).
when things happen..they happen...let this be clear >> pain is awful. doesn't matter how u try to forgive,forget,pretend,act cold,look away.pain is there.u start listening to music loudly so that u won't hear your thoughts,u start to hate closing your eyes coz u just start picturing things,relive the feelings again,sleeping gets so hard..when it is time to sleep and after laying yourself down,u think it is time to maybe have some peace..but,huh..this doesn't happen.same feelings and even worse thoughts since everything is quite.u start hating bed time much more because now it is not just hating that u sleep alone everyday,it is not only that that hurts..it is being alone and in pain..crying isn't a solution anymore,it doesn't make u feel better!
u wake up at night to make your new favorite hobby >staring at the ceiling.
u hate all the timings..bed-time,eating-time,waking up-time,coming back home-time..and u hate mostly any free time that gives your mind the chance to start thinking.
and all the crap about letting go and stuff doesn't seem to work and isn't easy at all..AT ALL.
whatever..
note to self:never get that close to people again....note ended.
Everything will work out in the end.
Try not to worry so much.
It's not as bad as it seems.
This is just one part of your life.
Keep on going.
Don't let anyone bring you down.
Do what makes you happy.
The sun follows the rain.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
It's not as hard as you think.
Just do it.
Let it go.
Worry less.
Smile more.
Just back from the eye doctor who diagnosed a "floater" in this left eye as "vitreous detachment", age related and not serious. I'm falling to pieces. :) (NTS Keep an "eye" on it!)
For those not in the scrapbook world, Saturday was National Scrapbook Day. I spent the day outside doing yardwork, so I just now got a chance to do my sweet friend Rhian's challenge she issued. A May Manifesto. I haven't scrapped in a while, let alone digitally, and it's quite the pain in the arse. I always have to search the web for the elements I want. So tiring! But this came out pretty well I think.
See here for digital element credits.

Thanks for looking!
Another day that nearly got away, even though I wrote this little note to myself!
Our Daily Challenge: begins with N
Utata's Iron Photographer challenge #224 inspires photos with the following elements:
1 - something to drink (rum, for some)
2 - a note to self (while cooking)
3 - soft color (vibrance, saturation turned down)
The "soft color" component is poorly defined, so I chose a pastel post-it then, in lightroom, turned down vibrance and saturation by 20%.
Note-to-self:
"Focus on your vision and keep going until you hit the finish line. Don't be one of the people who believe in their vision at first but then give up. See it through, no matter how long it takes. Understand that obstacles are just part of the game. Whatever you imagine, you can achieve. Once you realize this truth, no one is going to be able to stop you."
Russell Simmons
Don't give up now, you are almost there... 361 down, just 4 more to go....
When I attempted to do the 365 days self-portrait challenge back in 2008 I gave up when I only had 20 pictures to finish... Just like so many other things in life, I have given up when I got so close to my goal... But not this time. I am going to finish this! So, stay tuned... :)

Another frenzied note pinned above desk & main area of general musical intensity... Personally, it's one of my favourite MSP tracks, but then, I did play The Holy Bible all day, every day for a year!
The Manic Street Preachers' song, "Judge Yr'Self" was influenced by the comic, and was intended to appear on the film soundtrack. It reached the demo stage, but after lyricist and guitarist Richey Edwards disappeared, the other members of the band said that a song for a soundtrack was the last thing on their mind.[10] Edwards himself was heavily influenced by the Judge Dredd and 2000 AD comics (the slogan "Be pure. Be vigilant. Behave" from the 2000 AD strip Nemesis the Warlock was included in the song "P.C.P."). A fully produced mix of "Judge Yr'Self" (by long time Manics producer Dave Eringa) was later released on the 2003 double-album of B-sides and rarities, Lipstick Traces. Furthermore, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire was immortalised as the character Domino in the 2000 AD story Zenith Phase IV Part 2: Blind Justice (prog 795, 8 Aug. 1992).[11] He has said that this annoyed fellow band member Richey, who was a great fan of Judge Dredd and even had one of his drawings published in the comic during his late childhood.[12] Richey himself was later parodied as "Clarence" of the "Crazy Sked Moaners" in the Dredd story Muzak Killer: Live! Part 3 (prog 838, 5 Jun. 1993), in a scene which parodied the infamous 1991 incident of Richey carving 4 REAL into his forearm with a razor (Clarence lasers 4 RALE [sic] into his forehead).

JUDGE YR'SELF
Blessed be the blades
Blessed be the sighs
Dionysus against the crucified
Find your truth
Face your truth
Speak your truth
And be your truth...
Clean your flesh and mock your fears
The brightest sun is the purest gun
Heal yr'self
Hurt yr'self
Judge yr'self...
Blessed be the blades
Blessed be the sighs
Dionysus against the crucified
Find your truth
Face your truth
Speak your truth
And be your truth...
Clean your flesh and mock your fears
The brightest sun is the purest gun
Heal yr'self
Hurt yr'self
Judge yr'self...
Kiss your wounds and mock your fears
The brightest sun is the purest gun
Heal yr'self
Hurt yr'self
Judge yr'self...
LESSON NO. 15:
Happiness comes when you feel truly alive.
Hector and the Search for Happiness by Francois Lelord

Note to self: it's time.
Get your head out of the clouds.
Come back down for me.
It does you no good;
The air's much thinner up there,
And what you need, love,
Is to breathe in deep.
Come down to the rest of us;
Take a break from dreams.
A thinking day, but it shouldn't be.
Nature Gives Up on a Weak Winter, Brings on Spring
For weeks, Flickr folk have been posting photographs of flowers and budding trees. I’ve sat and looked out over brown yards and bare trees. Well, no more. I found this clump of fescue growing in my dooryard, and a few more in the dog yard. For obvious reasons, I didn’t want to crawl around inside the front fence shooting hummocks of grass (the occasional dog bomb being only one reason) so I braved the sog and crouched in the back yard with my tripod at its lowest. The ground was still wet from the night before’s freshet, so I wound up with the left knee of my jeans nasty muddy, but it was worth it.
Oh, and yeah: Note to Self: check at Ocean State Job Lot and see if they have any knee pads...

First of all, View this large. Press L.
Flickr sharpening! :(
It feels so nice to reach the 3-digit mark in this 365 project. I have grown each day as an artist in various aspects whether it be practicing editing techniques or implementing random ideas. And this is why I didn't give up today while clicking this. First time, the frame wasn't right along with the timing. Second time, all out of focus images. Bah! I nearly gave up. Third time, oh yes! Falling into the dirty water was worth it. Since photography is a never ending learning experience, my enthusiasm to click pictures is not going to be any low. This is why I feel, tomorrow (101/365) I will be born again.

Like most women these days, I have been taught that I need to be perfect. A perfect mother, a perfect wife, a perfect daughter...a perfect size...picture perfect in every way. One of my goals this year is to spend more time loving the person I am, inside and out. I will strive to not be so hard on myself. I will try to look at myself through my daughter's eyes and love myself - all of me. Accepting my faults and acknowledging my strengths will show my daughter that being imperfect IS perfection.
so much to do... so little time...
(and even less memory capacity at the moment!)
I've spent all week seemingly behind, out of sorts and just overwhelmed with it all.I was sure most the day it was really supposed to be Friday. *sigh*
if there's anything to rejoice in, it's the fact that I've hit a bit of a milestone: 25 days. w00t!
yeah, that. and Jesus loves me. Big time. *shrug* so it's all good!
