My 365 - 2013 Highlights

With all the fun I had last year with the picture a day project I've decided to try it again this year. Not only did it help me to look at the world with inquisitive eyes it allowed me to document but not solely concentrate on my cancer battle. There are always plenty of puppies and flowers to capture along with hospital shots.  

Since Project Life 365 is no longer facilitating the project this year I have been lucky enough to become familiar with other PL365 participants. Jill Marzion (along with other instagrammers) have started their own photo community called My 365. Again, it is on Instagram and you are welcome to join in. 

Just follow along at @my_365 and post a photo a day to match the theme. (there is no right or wrong!) themes are posted each week on the account.  use hashtag #my_365 and the theme for the day. 

Here are some of my favorite highlights for 2013..crazy year that it was. :)

Music Monday's - Not Over You

Davin McGraw's "Not Over You"

Dreams, that's where I have to go
To see your beautiful face anymore
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
We both admit we had it good
But until then it's alienation, I know
That much is understood
And I realize

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you, not over you

Damn, damn girl, you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
Took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me
I turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you

And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then...

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you

Day 298

Today's photo inspiration is  #new_and_improved

 Even though I've been holed up in the house for several days in severe pain there are always little things that make me feel new and improved. Like a good cup of green tea and fun, bright socks lovingly gifted to me by my sis Angie. :)

Day 297

Today's photo inspiration is #retro

While it use to be more of a retro hobby, knitting seems to be more popular than ever. I just took my first class this week!! So if you are lucky you might get a ugly scarf for Christmas. :)
