THE COLOR OF MY DAYS

I have had many challenges this past year. 

My medical journey made keeping up on the things that had to be done, to find out what was wrong, and keeping a household running nearly impossible and without my husbands help would have been.

I started the color of the month FB challenge for fun at the first of the year before all the pain started and it would have been an easy thing to abandon after I could no longer leave the house except to visit the doctor. 

But art has always been near the top of my must do list and this year has been no exception. 

 

Since photography is my first love the color challenge was a way for me to do something creative and keep in touch with the outside world on FB. 

I had to find colors at my house or in my studio.  It really made me look closely and find ways to take pleasing photos of the ordinary.  It was fun and I looked forward to doing it.

I won't be doing the color challenge again this coming year.  Next years challenge is going to be healing, getting stronger (it's amazing how weak you get not being able to be out and about for almost a year) catching up...and moving on.

If this past year taught me anything it is that we all have a limited time on this earth and we need to spend it well and enjoy it while we have a chance.  On the 11th of this month I took my Great grand daughter to see the Nutcracker Ballet.  We are both looking forward to more "dates" together.  I have a long bucket list I want to get started on before it's too late and there is always more art to make.

after all...AT THE END OF THE DAY...photographing and posting a new color each month wasn't what kept me going through the rough times this year...having a challenge and something to look forward to was...
