Project 365

Happy New Year!  'Tis the season for resolutions, new beginnings and extreme regret over holiday expenditures and calorie consumptions.  Now is the time when most people vow to make a change and promise themselves that the change will become their new reality.  I typically don't make resolutions, I set goals for myself that I may or may not accomplish, but to declare a sweeping resolution is a bit much.  The thought of doing something for a whole year is pretty daunting to me and I'd much prefer something that has a beginning, a middle and an end.  Maybe its because most of the resolutions that I come up with are negative (to me anyway);  lose weight, divorce carbohydrates, stay organized, save money, write thank-you notes, stop swearing, go to bed earlier, drink less, exercise more.  All of those in a list are daunting.  I'd rather just resolve to become a better person and/or set a big goal (1/2 marathon) and see what happens.

Project 365 is a little bit different, Project 365 is a resolution to blog, to share and to write.  Its a promise that I will pick up my camera every day and find a little bit of a story or an image to share and to look back on and to remember.  It will be an interesting journey to find the "interesting" in an otherwise mundane day.  It will also be a challenge to pick JUST ONE picture from an extraordinary day and call it the one.  It will also be an opportunity to me to track my progress and to improve upon a hobby that I find myself enjoying more and more every day. 

My theme for the project?  You guessed it..."My Life, His Life, Our Life and a Dog Named Chino", which basically means that anything and everything is fair game.  Although I'll only be featuring one photo here, feel free to take a deeper dive into my snap happy state of mind on my flickr page.  

Cheers to 2011, I hope its a great year, full of fun and life and happiness.
