I started to run out of steam for keeping up with Week In The Life here on the blog But I did stay with the project and completed taking pictures and journaling last night. This was a large undertaking and the burning question for me today is Was it worth the effort and would I do it again? Absolutely! Wrapping up today, I am swimming in a pool of deep gratitude for Ali Edwards sharing this project on her blog in such a way that made it feel do able for me. When I looked back at all the pictures I feel like I got the essence of what my days are filled with right now; a mixture of every day habits, reasons to celebrate, along with family and good friends to share it all with. Since we did have some of those special days (my birthday and my neighbor's 21st wedding anniversary celebration) mixed in with our regular days, it was interesting to just observe the different feel between what was routine and what was 'special'. I noticed the difference in the energy around how I felt about the day as compared to the regular days. I found it very comforting to know where those anchors during my week were Monday homemaking, Tuesday and Wednesday karate, Thursday knit night, etc. As I continued to record my days, my perception really did shift. What was routine became special because I was looking at it all with new eyes. Taking more pictures than I thought I would need, I ended up with a total of 375 photos
and 4 videos (1-2 minutes each) of moments through out my week. The pictures I've shared publicly have become mosaics (thanks Liz Lamoreux for the great idea!) and the others I plan to put together on DVD I'll keep in my kids' family boxes along with my journaling sheets. I'll probably share the DVD with relatives so they can feel a part of our lives as well. And now back to Project Past Life... Comments are closed.
