I feel A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

I want to share what I just told a friend. Rather introspective moment, I guess  I feel A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Like my life has changed 100% in the last 10 months. I feel so positive and satisfied; despite my mistakes and occassional misgivings. That's a powerful statement, isn't it? When we're in our 50's, I want you to remind me of this conversation and ask me if I feel the same way. Where do you think we'll be? In 10 years. I'll be... The mom of a college student with my baby getting her drivers license.

An old friend, whom I've know since high school, responds "I'm glad to be rising wit' da same wave, being so conscious of da spirit of da times.... I'm glad you're refresh'd by a day dat's equally great& dreadful... Onwards.... ~ Friend"

Could there have been a more perfect response?  My friend is a visual writer, I'd say.

I took this photo of the Winston Mutual Building a year and a half ago, in October 2012 --  it was such an amazing sight to see the shadow of the tree against the entire expanse of the five story building. Truly took my breath away. I don't think the tree is even there anymore...

Project 365: Day 14, recycle

Recycle:

Carts on my street after being emptied by the City's recycle trucks.  

Recycle is one of the words for a scavenger hunt I'm participating in, and since today is our neighborhood recycle day, also my photo of the day.

 Every City of Winston-Salem household gets a big 96-gallon roll out cart, and depending on your address you're assigned either blue week or red week.  (We're blue week.)  

It's my older daughter's job to bring the bin down from the street after it's been emptied.  She's a cheezer, isn't she?
