Happy New Years! Hope you had a great one! Here is my first pic! woohoooo





I took a lot of pics around the house today....and this was my fave for several reasons.

It instantly hit me as what I needed for today...for my first pic....for inspiration for the New Year.

1. A beautiful rose is fighting the odds and flourishing in this gray cold ugly day.
Means to me....no matter the circumstance you find yourself in...you can come through it. With grace. With Beauty. Despite it all. You CAN survive.

2. New growth. The bud represents that the New Year holds the chance for great growth...spiritually. Physically. New chances. New life. I love it.

3. The color red. Represents to me Passion. For life. For love. I want to feel that intensity again. I want the passion.

4. The crispness of that front bud while the back is blurred signifies me putting behind me my mistakes and feelings of last year. Focus on the importance of here and now and I will find what is important.

5. The bits of dew on the bud...represent sweat to me. That all things worthwhile take work. Make you sweat a bit. And that sweat is gorgeous. And it is all worth the sweat.

so. yeah. that is my first pic.

and I have a little goodie for you.....a template I made for a week of pics!
