July 4th, Independence Day!!!I laid down on my belly to snap pictures of the kids lighting smoke bombs and snakes late in the afternoon. This may be cheating on the project, but Becca grabbed my camera and told me to lay my head down and she quick snapped this picture of me. I look pretty darn happy and satisfied with my life at this moment, don't I?! I like this picture. It's not perfect, but I'm learning to look past my imperfections with this project. I started out thinking I'd just take/choose a photo a day that I thought best represented that day. I've since changed my mind and am challenging myself to take a photo a day of MYSELF! That will truly be a challenge since, at age 37, I do have some hang-ups about my appearance. I'm inspired by many in this area, but the first that comes to mind is a lady I consider a friend, who recently appeared in a fantastic play called "First Kiss". She had a scene in the play where she had to appear onstage in only pants and her bra. At first I thought, "Oh, I could do that." Upon further reflection I wondered if I really could do that. I'd like to think that I don't have as many physical hang-ups as the majority of women my age and older do, but the honest truth is I would indeed have to seriously push myself to be that brave, and I don't consider myself a very modest person at all. Anyway, those are my thoughts for the day....

This is another great picture. You look so happy.
You are not alone when it comes to hang-ups. I am terrified to share pictures of myself. I am hoping that as I share more that I will be happier with who I am. I think I am getting closer to that realization too. I posted silly pictures of me the other day on my blog and I am still okay with it. LOL! :)
