One Little Word for Photo Art Friday

Photo Art Friday

It seems a long time since I joined in with Bonnies meme and it seemed a long break over the Christmas holiday and now it’s today!

Bonnies optional Challenge is to link up a piece of photo art that features a word you have chosen to guide or inspire you for the year 2013.

My word is Learn as in…

Learn and grow

Learn to accept who I am
Learn to grow into my new role
Learn to value retirement
Learn to accept a reduced income
Learn to accept that a financial contribution isn’t the only contribution I will make to our lives
Learn to look after myself
Learn to have patience with my self
Learn to love myself
Learn to grow in confidence
Learn a new skill

Learn.1

For the first week in 2013 there will be art and words to inspire us at Pixel Dust Photo Art.

Two posts in one day again? Bonnie has opened her gallery a few hours earlier which means I can link before midnight today 🙂

Photo Heart Connection

Kat Sloma over at Kat Eye Studio says some interesting things about the way she feels about photography
It’s a way to express my feelings — heart and soul.
It’s a way to be in the moment
The process is what matters

I understand this completely, and I have decided to join her this year in her monthly Photo-Heart Connection project.

Thank you Rinda for the link

This is the photo I have chosen from December 2012.

PHC December 2012

When I saw this on my screen it made me smile, it brought back such strong feelings from the evening I took it. It speaks to me of family and happiness.
It has the warmth of the fire that we were sitting by, the reflection of the Christmas lights that surrounded us, and the darkness of the late evening. It reminds me that it was December, just before Christmas, we were sitting in the garden! And yes it tells me that we were sharing a drink, Disaronno, my favourite Christmas time drink.

The close connection with my family truly speaks to my heart.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone.
May this year bring you peace, joy, good health happy blogging and safe travels. Thank you all for your support during 2012. I for one am pleased that it is the start of a New Year.
Normally I find the days until the first signs of spring very difficult as though starting a very long climb but today I intend to start at the top of a beautiful plateau!

Happy New Year
