A Year in Pictures

I've decided that I need to be a little more proactive at reflecting on the good fortune in my life. I have so much to be thankful for and so many talents that I need to nurture. I love taking pictures so what better way to get a look at the great things going on around me than to document them in photos. I think it is important for me to journal about the photos too, more of a way for me to reflect and remember rather than boast or bore you!
I hope this works!

Friday January 7, 2011

Ukrainian Christmas has been on my mind all day.  Last night, Svyat Vechir or Holy Eve was the day of fasting in memory of the hardships of Mary and Joseph on their journey to Bethlehem.  When I was growing up we would celebrate the "old calendar" Christmas with distant relatives on this day (and I was always able to miss school!)
Tonight was a night of celebration.  Merry Christmas.  I didn't miss school today but instead, got together with some dear friends and celebrated.  You'll hear more about them in the days to come but for now, just know that I am blessed to have such good friends and fun times.  Even Rocko was invited.
