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 40 - February 18: Extreme and Incredible

If I were to make a list of favorite things to do, going to the movies would easily make it into the Top Ten and yet, I hardly ever go.  When the Oscar nominations came out, I was ashamed and dismayed - I hadn't seen a single Best Picture nominated movie.  I've got some work to do.  Tonight Douglas and I took Mom and Dad to the movies (dinner + movie + chauffeuring = Christmas gift).  We enjoyed a fun dinner and saw "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close".  I don't think I breathed for 2 hours and 9 minutes.  It was amazing - rich and powerful, devastating and inspiring.
