2007-01-12.jpg

It’s cold outside, and inside. The current temperature is 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore I decided to use the natural light from my dining room window to take a self-portrait. I marvel at where I am in life. It sure is not where I expected to be at this point in my life, yet there is peace within. I’m not fighting life as in the past but learning, notice I say that in the present tense, to accept each day as it comes. So, what do I feel like today? Grateful! Content! It’s in my eyes.

Another great SP. You do look content, and it's nice. Great red shirt, too!

Such wise words of you, Monte. I'm sure that since you are content and grateful for what you are or have now, you've got bigger chances to reach more.
Wonderful, true, clear SP. Your eyes say it all.

Excellent SP. I agree with Aunt Coleen; that red is a great choice.

Very nice SP. The red becomes you. Good to know you are content; you're luckier than many.
