As I have mentioned previously, I recently made a mistake that has impacted the timeliness of certain things in my future. I have endeavored to find the positive within the situation, which isn't always easy, but important none the less. What is clear to me so far is that I am so very lucky to have a supportive partner, who always wraps me in kindness, warts and all. I am none the less unhappy about the debacle and in an effort to turn my continual frown upside down, have taken up a photo challenge. The challenge is to take a photo of something that inspires me, makes me happy or takes my breath away with beauty every day, For at least 7 days. I was nervous at first that I would not be able to find something worthy each day, I live what I would call an ordinary life. I go to work, come home exhausted during the week and see friends and family over weekends. My life is not, what Instagram so kindly tells me, a photogenic life should look like. It is now day three and I have taken a good 30 photos so far. There is so much that is around me that gets my creative juices flowing or makes my heart sing. It is Autumn in Melbourne which is probably my favorite season. I always thought it was summer but a warm day in Autumn really is like no other. I love the bright green trees that look almost illuminated by the sun, the golden yellows,ruby reds and aubergine leaves that provide such a beautiful contrast to the shinning blue sky. The noise of crunching and childlike glee as you stomp through the fallen leaves. The beautiful breeze in the air, bringing such a delightful relief from the summer heat and warmth from the cool change, that stirs in the in-between season. Watching my beautiful pup stand still while the wind envelopes him, eyes closed, ears blowing, just enjoying the sensation, We have such good food in Melbourne. We are blessed with flavorful produce and juicy meats. I made a Risotto the other night and it was magic in my mouth, like all of Italy had a magnificent party right there, in my mouth, with every bite. Pleasure. Happiness. Love. It is all around us, it can be found in so many different ways. Its how you embrace it, how you open your eyes and accept it that will give you the most joy. Flows and Ebbs, Hills and valleys, I am always grateful for my life.
