i stopped short with my 2012 every day 365 at flickr. this was a 'new' fall, with change in routine and structure. i continued to use my camera everyday, just couldn't get into the groove of the upload. i will go back and add them a little at a time. but as i approached christmas and the girls arrival home for the holidays, i found i had other things to do and prepare for. these days, i find it easier to let things slide a bit. no need to try and keep up a crazy pace. for who? for what? i am what i am, and that's just fine.
i wanted to do something just a little different at flickr. this year i've decided to take my 365, and then, while i'm uploading, add notes of one of the five senses. it doesn't necessarily need to pertain to my photo of the day, though it might now and again. those shots are usually what moves me at the time. rather, i am getting into a habit of choosing one of my five senses in the morning when i wake, then looking for a few specific details relating to it.
i'm simply using this space to note what i heard or saw in my day; hints of what i remembered most.
it gives me a reason to notice. it gives me a reason to move at a slower pace.
a year of senses.
may your new year be filled with the very best. xo
I like your plan. I started journaling with my 365 last year, but that quickly fell by the wayside. I'm giving it another go this year, but I'm already behind. The photos have been taken, but the uploading and journaling part are a struggle.
ReplyDeleteWe are loving your 'year of senses' over on flickr!
ReplyDeleteWe're giving the 365 a go again, and hope to not fizzle out mid-year... same problem, getting them uploaded.
