these are all of our photos from the trip a couple of weeks ago. enjoy.
we stayed with my friend edwin, who lives two blocks from the capitol.
technically, we could see the capitol from his apartment.

i’ve been feeling a little blue lately. a little more worried about things than usual. even less in the christmas spirit than normal, and i always get excited about christmas. (and other holidays. and birthdays.)
so i worked on a little project for fun this afternoon: paper snowflakes! i hadn’t made those since i was a child. i remember them hanging in my bedroom windows until they were so old and dried out they fell apart when i touched them.
i think this needs to become a tradition again in my life. i love opening them to see what design i’ve created! of course, it didn’t fix my problems, but a little snowflake-making therapy was just what i needed today.

up close and personal.
my last post was brief and incomplete. i hoped that opening the page and starting to write would help the words come even though it didn’t feel quite ready. maybe next time.
today i’m a little glum and melancholy.
contemplative.
reflective.
something unexpected happened this morning that was both relieving and depressing.
tomorrow is a big day for me personally, but i don’t want to write about it until it’s over. maybe husband and i will go get our christmas tree tonight.
i walked around the apartment a little while ago taking pictures of things i was drawn to. as you’ll see, i wanted to zoom in on each of my subjects; taking in details, showing things in ways we might not always notice even though they are part of our lives every day. i think it’s just what kind of mood i’m in; deep in thought and ready to get up close and personal with everything about my life.
