The Gift of an Ordinary Day {Group Project}

"Our photo albums from those days are full of pictures of birthday cakes and holiday celebrations, vacation trips and family adventures, piano recitals and baseball games. But the memories I find myself sifting through the past to find, the ones that I would now give anything to relive, are the ones that no one ever thought to photograph, the ones that came and went as softly as a breeze on a summer afternoon." {The Gift of an Ordinary Day} *Join us in documenting the beauty of everyday life.

Laura Lee A few little words to live by

Oh, those eyes are what I first saw when I entered Winn Dixie, and then the colors hit me in the face. Valentine's Day wasn't good to them, in fact, I think they all must feel unloved. Struck me as funny, then sad, then a great photo opt.

This is a lesson I must learn, to silence the negative self talk I hear so often and give rise to the voice inside me that says, "Yes, I Can!!" If I hope at all to move toward progress, this is a challenge I must conquer. I MUST stuff a sock in the mouth of the lazy self talk voice. Today I chose to spend some time with this, to let it burn enough and sink in. This image is my reminder...it will live on my mirror.

Jim Marinella great pic, thanks for sharing. I think i'll go hunt for a good photo myself.

Living a life with chronic pain causes me to stay surrounded by objects that remind me of just that....pain. They are markers of relieving pain, but can also be items that cause pain depending on their use. I decided to look for the beauty in the every day object today rather than what they remind me of. This image is an abstract of pills that were actually white and orange, but through the use of Picnik in Google+ I changed the heat. Love how "glowing" they turned out.

Picture of goodwinart

Ardith Goodwin I have had 24 surgeries, but about 19 have been orthopedic. My lower back and neck are fused, both ankles have been reconstructed, and my right knew is partially replaced. I also ended up with a spinal chord injury called Arachnoiditis which there is no treatment for. Despite all that I live an incredible, blessed life, but I am surrounded by so many things that are reminders of the medical path I am on. Trying to find the beauty in even that.

Today was my mom's birthday and one of my dear Auburn friends gave me this coat because she couldn't bear wearing the  Bama Houndstooth anymore. My mom love it, especially with her Bear Bryant hat! Such a wonderful day celebrating the gift of her life today!

Overall, we've had pretty decent temperatures this winter, but it's been constantly gray and gloomy! I am so ready for sunshine and blooms.

"Cotton Wall"    Everyday objects sometime get ignored. I liked the texture and unity that these swabs had in the 750 count container and took a closer look.

I wish I could say this was some super-yummy new drink. Nope, just "Very Berry" Airborne. Actually tastes pretty good. Can't wait for this chest cold to be done!

Johnna Rocker-Clinton so does this come in a little packet or something that you mix or what? and what is it supposed to do?

Picture of christinay

Christina Yates It's a tablet you put in a glass of water (I like to use hot water from the tap) and let it dissolve. Then drink it. :) It has lots of vitamin C and antioxidants. 'Very Berry' is quite tasty too.

{If you could own anything.....a plane - Papa Nelson}    My mother told me that her father loved flying. I can remember being little and Papa renting a small plane (probably a crop duster but it felt like a jet) to take his grandchildren on a ride. I remember it to be red. It's always a nice story to share when flying (especially when it's the size of a Pringles can - distraction!).

For today, I choose to embrace this. Beautiful is not equivalent to  how much I weigh. I do not wish to look like the world tells me they think I should. I wish to look like I am healthy, loved, and inspired. Today I will embrace my curves, lines, wrinkles, and pounds....and love every bit of them.
