The Second Half of the Photo Challenge: Days 16-30

Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.

Paige is in short (no pun intended) absolutely amazing. She inspires me all the time. She is always joyful. When things get her down, she jumps right back up. She has been successful in her weight loss (which for someone who struggles, I am in awe). She doesn't let her circumstances stop her from accomplishing anything. She helps others in need, a great friend, and is truly an inspiration...a shining star in my world. Though, I don't get to see her very often...she is always important to me. I love her, miss her, and thank her for all the light she has shown me through just living the best life.

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.

Crazy how people come into your life. In the last year many have come and gone, some have stayed for awhile, some still linger, and one is permanent. The impact that this has made in my life is the lessons that I have learned about myself. I have learned A LOT about myself through the interactions I've had, some good, some bad, but all equally important lessons.

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity.

Tried to take my own abstract picture and then obscure with photoshop (don't worry it wasn't going to be a full body shot, just a piece of my own fat)...but it was too horrible to even look at. Being a nudist at heart, I must conquer this.

Day 19 - A picture of you when you were little.

During my short phase of being a blonde.

Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel.

Ummmm....there is no way I would ever be able to pin this down to one place. I want to go EVERYWHERE. This planet is full of amazing places. I love the different cultures, geology, history, languages....

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget.

Should have never gone down that way.

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at.

I am in awe of people that can hear a piece of music, sit down, and play it back perfectly. I have to have the sheet music sitting there in front of me. Even when I am singing....you say key of G to me and that means absolutely nothing as far as what my pitch should be... even playing the clarinet I have to have the music...always sucked when people could just pick it up and jam without any music..... grrrrrrr

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book.

My favorite book is a trilogy by Ted Dekker. The way the book is written and the symbolism is amazing.

Some say that the world hangs in the balance of every choice we make. Now, the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance of one man’s choices… an unlikely hero who may not survive the next 24 hours.

Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.

"Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It's for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough..."

Day 25 - A picture of your day.

Spent the day with Gil. He is fired from being photographer :) (But have to give him props for standing in the freezing rain to take the picture for me.)

Day 26 - A picture of something that means a lot to you.

Makes you go hmmmmm

Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member.

I'm very proud of my bubba. Though he was a pain in the butt many a time, he has grown into a great man.

Day 28 - A picture of something you're afraid of.

Yes, you point one of those at me and I freak out. I hate them. I must have had some tragic childhood event...I don't know. You can make me do anything by pointing one at me.

Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile.

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”

Day 30 - A picture of someone you miss.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. ~Claudia Ghandi
