I have racked my brain.
What should I do?
For the last day.
What image should I capture?
It dawned on me this morning.
That it shouldn't be planned.
Today should be.
As the rest of the last year has been.
A picture that reflects my day.
Good.
Bad.
Mediocre.
Whatever the story may be.
As I relaxed with my family.
I decided.
That this journey.
This year of learning.
About so much more than photography.
Will end as it began.
With me.
A self portrait.
So here I am.
After an hour or so.
Of running around the kitchen.
Making a Fourth of July dinner for my family.
With messy hair.
No make up.
Happy.
Fulfilled.
Not sure what is next.
But confident that great things are in store.
A little pensive.
A little relieved.
A lot proud.
That something I started.
Sun burned and sitting next to my husband.
On a couch in California.
Is ending.
Completed.
With me happy and sitting next to my husband.
On a couch in North Carolina.
As I have said.
Many times.
In the last year.
Life is good.
