Living In the Moment

Happy 4th of July Weekend, Everyone ~ I will be seeing my family tomorrow for a cookout ~ Always a good time ~ What are your plans for the long weekend?

It is Friday ~ An end to another week ~ This brings me to why I chose this photo, it gives me inspiration to think what a new week will bring ~ To Live in the Moment ~ To Dream ~ To "Just Be" ~ To believe that good things will happen ~ What is your wish for the upcoming week? The upcoming month?

I can hardly believe it is the end of June ~ July 4th is right around the corner ~ Summer is going by quickly ~ This picture is of an Americana Rag Doll I have in my upstairs office ~ I have quite a few Americana items, I guess the love of "Country" decorating has always stayed with me ~ It speaks "Home" to me ... What decorating style makes you feel this way?

I want to first say "Thank You" for those of you who recently joined my blog - You have made me so happy - Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Over the weekend, I have been playing with Photoshop. It is such a great program to just "Play". My photo today is from a photo shoot I did last Summer but I changed it up a bit in Photoshop ... Just Fun ... When was the last time you just "played"? When was the last time you used crayons to color a picture? Tabbed a few dots of paint on a piece of paper to see what you could make with it? I think we need to "Play" more - Sometimes, life gets too serious ... Those are my thoughts for today :)

It is yet another 3 "H" Day here in New England - Hazy, Hot & Humid - We are using our air conditioners and ceiling fans - Which brings me to the photograph I chose for today - During my 2 week online photography course, this is the pic I selected for a "Blur" shot - My Instructor said it was a good shot, almost looked cinematic ...

Yesterday we attended a Birthday Party for a beautiful little girl - She turned "1" - Imagine turning only "1" - So many years ahead - So many milestones to go - She looked adorable and really seemed to enjoy her day - This was my favorite photo of the day ... What age did you enjoy the most?

I attended a Taylor Swift Concert on Saturday evening with a few good friends ~ It was fun ~ To be honest, I cannot remember the last time I went to a concert ~ It has been awhile ~ The weather held out until about 1/2 way through and then the sky opened - We were drenched! All in good fun, as they say ...
