Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 61: My hair

This post should ABSOLUTELY not be about my hair. It has been a busy fun-filled day - in order:  my eighth graders did a fantastic job reading to the kindergartners this morning; Noah and I had an enjoyable trip to the store and a great discussion about whether bears live on the moon; my sixth graders and I had a lovely Greek feast (pita bread, olives, feta cheese and baklava) after lunch to celebrate the start of our study of Ancient Greece; my own kids had piano, ballet and soccer this afternoon; their school had a wonderful book fair and Authors' Night this evening at which I got to read aloud fairy tales to a delightful audience; I led a Bible study on Romans 2, had a great discussion about sin and laughed harder than I have for weeks; and I made a late night run to Burgerville with a friend. ANY of these things could have resulted in a great photo - but I failed to have my camera with me all day. So it is five minutes before midnight and I have taken a picture of my new hair clip - because I am very excited that my hair is getting long again. Anyone who has known me for any length of time knows that I am never satisfied with my hair and am always either growing it longer or planning to cut it short. For everyone's sakes, I must take the camera out and about with me tomorrow...

    But it's a really nice artsy-looking shot of the hair clip!

    And, whew! - I thought my day was busy! You are amazing!
