July 27, 2009

I took these two photos on the west side of Cleveland during a lunch break.

I was at the end of my first trimester.

These pictures were taken before I had my new camera.

Nick and I had just returned from a vacation in Charleston, South Carolina.

My books of choice were The Zahir and Bastard Out of Carolina.

These words were in my journal: This baby is making me think of being my best, living my best, and simplifying my life.  Simplifying my life, I’ve found, means taking care of the most important things first.

Who were you a year ago?  What were you doing?  What did you care about?  How have you grown?

There is no milestone for this date.  It’s just an ordinary summer day.  No holidays, no anniversaries, nothing but a hot sun on a July day.  An ordinary day.  A perfect time to reflect.
