Dailies May - Dec 09

Most every thing I post is SOC with little post processing and I work with the light available at the time (and since I don't do early most of the time it is mid-day bright light). I will try to remember to let you know if I have cropped or tweeked.

Thursday July 23, 2009 - Sunshine on my face - More Yellow - SOC - <br />
<br />
Thank you all for your kind comments and your encouragement - If it were not for the love of God shown to me through my family and you wonderful people some days I would just give up. Life is just plain hard at times and the past few years have just been one hard thing after another to the point that I feel like a pin ball bouncing from side to side without a moment to stop and catch my breath. .<br />
<br />
All that said, it cheers my heart to log on and see your comments and encouragement. My photography gives me something positive to focus on. I learn so much just reading everyone's comments to each other and seeing so many creative ideas. I can remove myself from the boxes and clutter and close my door and log on to travel all over the world via all the beautiful posts and it takes me away from my pity party.<br />
<br />
Every day I try to think of all I have so much to be thankful for, I can get out of the bed, I can still dress myself and drive and do so many things. And even as bad as my worst day can be there are people all over the world struggling with worse things. I have never had to live in a war zone and with the exception of Lisa's struggle with crohnes the past two years my children have been healthy, my grandchildren are healthy. So much to be thankful for.<br />
<br />
Lisa saw the new doctor today and he was very compasionate and gave her some hope. He is looking into doing some surgery next week to repair the fistulas and some other issues that should give her some relief from the relentless pain she is in and will take a look under anesthisia at her colon so that we can make a decision about what path to take. She is so amazed when I show her how many people care and are praying for her.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a blessed evening.<br />

Hi Pearl. This is a lovely capture...the lighting so softly reflecting through the flower petals. I know someone else that has crohnes, and she has a small child. I've seen them go back and forth to the hospital. I've seen that it's hard. Hang in there with your photography and family and friends to help. My best thoughts for Lisa.
