Two days in a row! ;)

There is a lot going through my head right now, but I'm also quite tired.  I'm participating in a Gratitude group on facebook and I've read most of today's posts.  These are some amazing people and their vulnerability and willingness to share is touching.

I wanted to write more about my day, but my eyes are rebelling and I'm having trouble convincing them otherwise.

I'll summarize with a few photos (thus giving a nod, be it ever so small, to my photography itch).

Voted for good friend for judge today, fingers crossed she wins!

Reorganized vitamin/first aid cabinet.  Created makeshift dowel rods out of pencils in order to repair double layered "Hardworking Susan."  Calling her Lazy Susan just doesn't seem right when she works so hard.    ;)

Snapped this shot of beautiful fall colors leaving the voting facility.  I just used my camera phone and I was actually still driving (don't worry, it was an empty street and I slowed way down), so not exactly a fulfilling photography experience, but it certainly made me smile.

Played with my Little One with glow sticks left over from Halloween.  It's amazing how a child's ability to get lost in the moment can be so re-energizing.  It's always wonderful to get a glimpse of something through the eyes of a child.
