Of all human activities, none is so useless and potentially destructive as trying to predict the future. The future is merely a shadow which blocks out the joys of the present and emphasizes the miseries of the past.
Live or die, but for god’s sake don’t poison yourself with indecision.
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. (Kierkegaard)
And the rest are tidily tucked away in the bowels of the computer... well, and on the shelf buried in the pages of her self rescue guide. While I may have finished it long ago, it somehow brought me comfort to continue looking at the all-too-familiar, all-too-personal, wow-how'd-you-know tome sitting on my desk every. single. day. Obviously, to someone who likes to check things off the to-do list, it also brought me dismay. There were tons of turned down pages with words of wisdom leaping off the page... some not fit to share on a family site, some too difficult to explain, all much too close for comfort. So, I pick the there's-something-there-for-everyone generiticities (yes, that's my very own made-up word... you like?) to share with you tonight.
Haley, to answer your Q... this one is my fave. I like the randomness of the leaves & branches breaking up the bright white of the sky. Jon ultimately picked this one. And I had just learned that day (from a post on the Digital Photography School) about creating a diagonal in your pics (from bottom left to top right is most pleasing), so I kept the last one on the post for it's that quality.
Is there a restless bug going around this evening, or am I (as the only sufferer) in a quarantine? It wouldn't be the first time I've been quarantined... only the time before, there were two of us. I'm just curious... is there anyone else out there now? ASH, ARE YOU STILL WITH ME (screamed on an answering machine just so you hear me enough to wake up)?
Oh well, I make myself laugh. That's all that really matters.
Also, you should know... I have replaced my DC habit with a DS one (Diet Sunkist). What?! I told you I had an addictive personality! Hey... at least I'm sticking to one of my Lenten commitments.
Finally, my restlessness possessed me to lie down on the breakfast nook table and try to photograph what I thought would be a cool perspective of my funky chandelier. The pics don't really look the same as what I see. Wouldn't it be fab if there was a camera that could duplicate the beauty of what the eye beholds? Anyway... I'll share the fruitless results... but only because they're dumb. Is that a good reason? I'm sure no, but what the hell:

Is it over?
Yeah.
Cool, later kids.
