Whew...made it through the first month of this year's PaD project. I'm glad that "Resolutions" seemed to be a crowd pleaser, and I'm glad it's over with. ;)

This month's theme is Emotions. I'll be using a new feeling word every day and try to match a photo to that day's emotion or feeling. I won't be using the scrapbook layouts regularly anymore. I love them, and will occasionally use them, but they are very time consuming and I don't have much time to go around. Instead you'll get a picture.

I took several pictures today, mostly of the kids in the day care at work. Lots of happy faces and sweet emotions...however, because I'm an idiot, I left my CF card in the card reader at work. So...you're stuck with a shot from yesterday's evening walk until I can get back to work and post another one in the morning. Tomorrow you'll get two-for-one, so to speak. I just want you to know I really did take pictures today!!!!

This image is one that really kind of spoke to me. The emotion I have decided to highlight with it is lonely. I'm sure everyone has had a time in their lives where they felt very alone. Sometimes being alone is nice...no one to bother you, no one to answer to, no one to clean up after...but other times, it's really a struggle. No one to talk to, no one to take care of, and no one to just be there with. I feel like that sometimes. I saw this lady out walking in the field by our city park, and the scene just spoke volumes to me. The loneliness overwhelmed me when I saw her, so tiny, against the vastness of the scene. I had to capture it.
