Ten on Ten:: August 2010

This morning I came across the blog Ten on Ten. Their idea?

Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. 
Document a day of your life and find beauty among the ordinary moments. 

I instantly loved the idea--- even though I am not a photographer. Someday my girls will be able to look back and remember what a day in our life was like when they were seven and two and a half. 

Someday I'll be able to look back and wonder why I was Screaming, Running, Naked half the time. 

What I have learned about today is that there really is beauty in the ordinary things of my life including: fly swatters, spinach, and ceiling fans. And if I stop and pay attention once in awhile, it's amazing what my eyes see that my camera cannot. This causes me to stop and think, what else am I missing? I look forward to finding out.

  5. Love it -- sort of been my theme this past year - finding the goodness in the ordinary. Have you ever read "Cold Tangerines"? - you'd love it.

  9. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes that I have hanging in our living room "Enjoy the little things in life for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things."
