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 76: My own pot of gold


There were some fabulous rainbows around here this St Patrick's Day but I did not capture them for my blog as I had hoped - I was either driving or didn't have my camera when they appeared. So here is the nearest we have in our house to a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow: my jewelry box. I really don't wear much jewelry at all but the things in here were all gifts and have sentimental value: my first cross; some of the wild earrings I used to wear in my early teenage years; my music badge from school; the nurse's watch I used to wear when I was a nursing auxiliary during my college vacations. Anna loves to go through this collection and never fails to remind me that all this shall be hers when I die. Although she would love a sister, she does regard the inheritance of my jewelry, clothes and even make-up as being the biggest benefit of being the only daughter. I am flattered that she thinks so highly of my things!
