Day 365: Last by Missy

last

today is the last day... a whole year. 365 photos. i'm sad this is ending... i'm a little scared... i'm a bit relieved... i'm proud... i'm feeling a whole slew of emotions about this last post, that i admit, coincide with what i'm going through in my personal life right now...
i thought about the word last today... you can be the last one in line, you could be busy with your last bit of work for the day, you may have one last errand to run, you may be on the last page of your favorite series book... the word last implies 'an end'...
BUT!
the word last also can mean 'to go on'... this ship was built to last, a lasting relationship, he made a lasting impression...
one word meaning almost two completely different things...
and so today is the last photo... the end... but for me, this journey has had a lasting effect on my life, for sure... i can look back on every photo for each day and remember something about that day...
day 1: garden.... i remember being so excited about the blog and 'getting in' to post my photo... i remember that it poured down rain, thundering and lightning, seconds after i snapped my shot...
day 9: song.... i remember being horrifically sad and getting water ice that night...
day 141: raider.... i came home late that night from a christmas show... i wore a red dress with jeans and went out with weird bed head...
day 273: rope.... i went to a bridal shower that day... in a convertible... i wore my favie anthropologie dress... i came home and changed into gold leggins and a cat shirt and took this photo of the rope ladder in my yard... it was one of the first days i felt like i may actually be good at this 'photography thing'...
this last year has taught me so much... helped me think on so much... & although the 365 days are over, i don't feel like this is the end... it's just the beginning for me... & not the beginning of a new chapter, but the next installment in a favorite series, we'll say...
i'm anxious... yet excited to see what happens.

thanks, y'all!

(and for those of you who are interested, i will continue a daily photo blog here...)

Day 358: Should by Missy

should

when i began to think about this theme,
there was an all time favorite quote that popped immediately into my head
that had me reflecting all day...


"You should have been a lawyer, Miss March."
"I should have been a great many things, Mr. Mayer."

Day 357: Shake by Missy

shakers

this was my inspiration for this photo

'in a gentle way, you can shake the world...'
~gandh
i

love this quote...
i'm all about shaking things up...
and if can be done gently!? even better.
but shake it up, none the less!
didn't really achieve the look i was going for,
but i like it... and i think it suits the quote...

Day 355: Die by Missy

die

i think about dying daily...
i get mad at the thought that i won't be able to know what people
are saying about me once i'm dead...
don't like that i won't get to see myself dead...
and i worry about quick deaths...
i want to be able to say my dramatic goodbyes!
BUT!
as much as i think about death,
i AM obsessed with living!!

Day 348: Cackle by Missy

Day 347: Manner by Missy

manner

i consider myself a gal with excellent manners...
i take them very seriously!
i always remember my please's and my thank you's,
i NEVER chew with my mouth open,
and i always cross my legs when wearing a dress...
the only thing i have trouble with is my tendency to stare...
i've been called out on it before by strangers,
which can be awkward...
