People sometimes might think that one must be a person of power or in some great position to give & make difference. It is not so... We can make difference in the tiniest & most invisible way. There are so many disadvantaged people in the world every drop of kindness & love counts. ❤️
If some of you guys were wondering, I took a small 2 week break from flickr for a couple reasons. 1st off, which is the main reason for the break, my computer shut down on me. The whole hard drive and everything just crashed one day, losing all my photos and music along with it. I was pretty distraught from it because just like that I lost all my memories from photos dating back from when I was in elementary school, and even my own photos that I've been planning to showcase and put on here. It is my fault that I didn't have a backup, but I was really actually planning to upload all my photos on private onto my flickr account that weekend when I had the time. Perfect timing.
2nd, I just needed a break... I've been so involved with school and other extra-curricular stuff in my area that I haven't had time to continue my photography lately. So in my small freakin' 2 week break I just put the camera on the shelf, until thanksgiving weekend when I picked it up again and started shooting.
So now I'm back for good, and I bought a totally new computer and bigger hard drive with back-ups on this one, so that won't happen again without a backup plan. It's a lesson to learn and I learned it good! After so much money spent on the new computer stuff, and lost programs and all this stuff I feel 'fresh out of the box' and I have to start again with my photos, because I lost all my older Disney photos and other theme park photos that I was planning to put up on here. But for the meantime, I've sent my hard drive to someone to hopefully get it fixed so I can recover my photos, but it's fine if I don't because I can start over. Thanks for reading! (;
Incredibly lazy day where I did nothing all day and just relaxed, excellent start to my Thanksgiving Break if I say so myself.
Fortunately I wasn't the only one being lazy, but in a much more comfortable way
Have you expressed your gratitude yet?
It's the time of the year again! theDoorsDepot is thankful for each and every one of you. ❤️

Wherein Elizabeth nearly breaks her ankles and wrists by climbing a mere 2 feet up a tree trunk in Great Shiplock Park.
of course today is a beautiful day outside. why am i bitter about that? because i'm stuck inside studying all day for this micro quiz that i'm terrified for. my grade in that class? yeah, not so much, so i would love to knock with one out of the park. so i'll be studying ALL day. i wish i were outside, playing frisbee with my yellow lab, kevin.
i took my psych quiz, i feel really confident about it. i'm glad i'm switching my major to psych, anyway. next is my chem test. not really all that worried about it. they're always straight from the book.
then it's another hour of studying, my micro lab quiz, the REST of micro class [which looks fairly short, actually] and then ZOOM out the door and headed home. i'm so excited to be going home for thanksgiving. i need a long weekend to unwind and get ready for finals week *sigh* i'm super jealous of everyone who's already home, or headed there right now.
i'm going to bring my micro book with me on break and spend a few hours a day completing my final review [which i already have part 1 of.] this is another test i'd like to ace. i really wish i'd treated my ADD sooner, now it feels like a game of catch-up.
OH! and my sister apologized yesterday for accusing me of stealing her jeans. i called her earlier that day, and apologized for hanging up on her, told her it was rude, and i hoped she would forgive me. i also offered to help look for her jeans and go shopping with her [on my dad's dime] to find a new pair.
she called me back later that night, and apologized. she said my mother had found the most recent pair of jeans that went missing, and that she owed me an apology. i forgave her, we chatted just a little [because i was in the middle of homework] then disconnected. i think we're still a little bit bristled towards each other, but hopefully it's nothing that a parade, a turkey, too much pie, and sweet potatoes won't fix.
I think this was our 2nd trip into the lake, the third time we both sat down, and Dan even put his head under water! We were in the sauna, but still...this is Northern Minnesota, and it was only 15° outside! (Whomever took this picture, sucks at photography!)
Edit:
April 5,2009/May 1,2009, rest in peace Dan.
