With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 36 - February 14: Valentines

Every day something happens to remind me that my kids are growing up.  In anticipation of Valentine's Day, I inquired about the planned festivities at the middle school (to ensure that we had an adequate supply of cards on hand) and was told that "Valentine's Day is like any other day at Blake Middle School".  Thank goodness I've got Lane, who spent a great deal of time decorating the small wooden hearts we buy to support Dana Farber - and writing a compliment to each classmate (okay, yes, that was a required component of the assignment).  I did notice that Stuart left today wearing red shorts, which proves that Valentine's Day is not like any other (February) day at Blake Middle School.
