I started reading this book my family got me for Christmas. There are three different parts of the book, but in reading the first tidbits, I'm looking forward to it. The whole thing is about the journey to find our creativity. Like most self help books, the introduction is full of promises of how much this book will change my life and as much as I like to believe it, I understand it largely rests in my hands.
As we have all seen, I'm really good at fizzling out after I start something. However, I like to think that 2011 will be a year of discovery and change for me.
I chose this picture for a specific reason. It reminds me of my Aunt and Uncle. They remain two people that have dramatically changed and inspired my life. When I get frustrated about my financial situation, I think of them. When they started out, they lived in a trailer and now, they live in a place as beautiful as this garden.
I am proud to be their niece. Im proud to know them at all. And tho they may never know it, I often wish I would get in the habit of calling them more often. Like I feel with my writing, I hunger to know them better, be a part of their every day lives.
This picture reminds me of patience and of hard work. It reminds me to push thru and in time, I will get there just like they did. So thank you for being a part of my life. I may not show my affection, respect or appreciation as well as I should, but my life would not be the same without you.
