One/Three Sixty Five
Hello
to all of you
who
read
look
laugh
cry
smirk
frown at
and
follow
...my blog...
Life, you know?
It just comes at you
...full force...
It causes you to be
...consumed...
overwhelmed
distraught
worried
distracted
critical
frustrated
...busy...
I started
my blog
back in
January 2010
This will be
my 7th year
to take
one picture
each day
Over the past year,
...however...
I've struggled
to keep up with
posting
daily
I've been thinking
about how
I could approach
...blogging...
differently
more effectively
therapeutically
constructively
inspirationally
The road
my life
has taken
thus far
has
allowed me to
travel
and
journey
through many
"forks"
decisions
judgments
trials
...and also...
has brought me
nearer
further
...ebbing and flowing...
in my
trust
and
belief
...of the Lord...
One morning
during
my quiet time
as I wrestled with
that
ebbing/flowing
nearness/distance
silence
of my
relationship
with
Christ
...I felt Him nudging me
with these words...
...One Day at a Time...
I breathed it in
I thought about it
rolled it around
...in my thoughts...
I began to realize
(although I have known this to be true)
that
my worries
doubts
fears
frustrations
and
busy-ness
stem from my
...inability...
to take things
one
day
at a
time
Throughout
2017
I
will try to
take life
...one day at a time...
Day 1
I resolve to be
healthier

New Year's Eve
The
Last
Day
of
the
Year
A day
meant for
celebrations
parties
get-togethers
watching
the ball drop
counting down
to
something new
We
spent the evening
on the couch
with
Here's to a
...brand new year...
a fresh start
new commitments
new goals
new "me"
...a return to...
Bible study
small group nights
healthy eating
exercising
old "me"
the
"me"
that I know
me
to
be
Happy 2017!

Two days left
in this
crazy
year
We decided to
be
loco
and
get tattoos
My BFF, Sarah
and
I
both got arrows
signifying
that
sometimes
life drags you down
but
we
keep moving forward
and
looking up
and
hanging in there
with each other
I mean
because
...hey...
we
...single moms...
have to
stick together
Mom,
Lauren,
and
I
got matching
Cross tats
because
a) we love Jesus and what He has done for us
and
b) that's been passed down between our
...generations...
I know
different people
have
different
thoughts
beliefs
opinions
views
and
perspectives
about
tattoos
Me?
I've chosen to
have
my body
tattooed
with
pictures and words
that are
...significant...
to me
My tats
help me
tell my story
and
exert a bit of
...control...
over
" things "
when
everything else
feels
...uncontrollable...
and
I'm
excited to share
the newest
additions
to
my collection
and
I'm proud to
share
stories
memories
tattoos
with
these peeps
