Windows

(I just liked the light, I like the light windows allow us)

(When the sun shines through this window I am always happy because it is like there is a piece of art in our kitchen!)

(Your escape- through books, they let a part of you out)

(My favorite window because it is huge)

Windows, kinda wondering why you picked windows, maybe you were looking out a window when you wrote it. I have some ideas and I haven't done all of them yet. I first thought "Your eyes are the window to your soul" but then that was too cliche. Windows are a way to escape, to let out the air and let other air come in. By law, a room must have a window to be considered a bedroom. On airplanes I always choose the window seat. There is a lot to work with and I will keep going with it. But for now here you go....

To Haley

(Springing up)

(Kite flying, the ability to be outside)

(Riding bikes on dry pavement)

(Drying out my shoes after a run in the rain- this one is my favorite)

This was not easy. I first thought of babies and Springtime. It seems like everyone has their baby around now. I really think the true sign of Spring is when people (mostly college students) start wearing flip flops when it is raining. I will get a picture of that up here soon. So I kinda half assed this assignment, the pictures are intentional but not intentional enough to satisfy my approval. I will get more up soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Need your help

I need to be taking more photographs so I figured I would enlist your help.

Tell me something you want me to take a picture of, anything (within reason) and if I don't post your picture within 7 days, I will owe you beers or a book of your choice.

I am pretty sure I will be picking up my camera no matter if no one gives me a suggestion but I think there is something to be said about letting others influence what you produce.

Let me know, thanks for your help!

Take your medicine

I don't consider myself a funny person.

I know funny people and they seem to be able to get a whole room to listen their story or follow them in some silly dance with costumes. I can lead a group on a discussion of their feelings and how to communicate, but group humor has never been my gift.

Today I went to my second "Take your medicine class" which is a class at my gym where you use a medicine ball in ways you would think impossible (like throwing it over your head with one hand and catching it with the other, shifting your weight from one foot to the other at the same time).

So far during every class I have had to hold back my laughter...at myself. I am the most uncoordinated person you will ever meet. I cannot follow an instructor through a mirror while trying to stay on beat. I am dyslexic and musically challenged. Add a eight pound ball into the mix and I look like an awkward seventh grader at a dance who is wearing a fanny pack and will only dance at arms length with you.

If you ever want to laugh, really hard, just come take a step class, dance class or medicine ball class with me. It just feels good to have some laughs and be able to laugh at myself.

The Drive

My perfect sunrise
is when
the imperfection of scattered clouds
rests on a spotless sky.

Continue to drive, as the moon and sun
have a perfect pulse
that creates graceful and
equal separation.

And I am only on track 5.
