Day One- Light





This month, I'm going to do a photo-a-day challenge. I found the challenge on the Idea Room. This doesn't mean I won't write. But, my camera has been collecting dust for quite some time, so I decided it's time to get it back out.

Here's the list for the month-



Also, today is my Dad's birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad, I love you!!!

The last few months, every time I thought about my birthday, I thought about turning 55. Then, one day I realized–I AM 55. What? I’ve never minded my age, never feared getting older.

And, after this amazing evening, with women who clearly care for me and who I am , I looked at the picture and cringed. "Ugh. My hair looks so dumb."  I resisted the urge to delete the photo, mainly because it captured this night that I never want to forget. Later, I looked at the picture again. No, my bangs did not look just-out-of-the-salon perfect, but then, they
