Part of an old wooden sign saying "Haus der Stille" (house of stillness), a buddhist retreat center in Northern Germany (www.hausderstille.org).
This sign has been replaced by a new sign last year.
Many of headstones have an "In" in this style.

Day 2 of the OneWord Project.
I love these pj's, they are flannel and sooo soft. It is about -32C here so flannel is a must!
Check out the details on the OneWord Project over at Shutter Sisters.
Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It's lucky I'm clever
If I didn't know better
I'd believe only that which I'd heard
~Kate Voegele, Kindly Unspoked
What a wonderful Christmas and Boxing Day we had. And now... finally... it is snowing.
The art supplies are creeping back into the dining room again and all is well in my world.

02/52 - "New Year's Resolutions"
I don't do resolutions, per se. They never last because I make them so vague or it's easy to ignore them as the year progresses. Back toward the end of 2015, I came upon a book called "One Word" which was basically about making a plan to live for a year using one word as a personal mantra of sorts.
I've decided to try it out to an extent for this year. The word I chose was "Breathe." Not because I have issues with performing a regular bodily function that keeps me alive, but rather it is a reminder to slow down; to not allow myself to get overwhelmed with anxiety or anger; to try and enjoy the simpler things in life. It's more of a reminder to be relaxed and more mindful. To not overexert too far beyond my abilities that it does more harm than good. In a way, although it may be a bit cliche, it's to remember to "stop and smell the roses." I'm going to have an easier time with it in some aspects, but there are other aspects where it will be a significant challenge.
From a different perspective, I guess I could also resolve to work at perfecting some of the technical aspects of working with off camera flash, as I did here. I bought a new pair of radio triggers for the flash, since my previous set wasn't compatible with my current camera. There's a big learning curve with the new ones. And I need to organize my gear and find some of the different gobo's that I've bought over the past few years instead of trying to do some make shift ones like today.
