HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! ๐ฅ๐ฅ
I have many wishes and blessings to send to so many people in the community and faith for such a great outcome for you all. There are so many things to be grateful for 2022!
๐My spouse, family, and our dogs!
๐My health and the health of our family! Butch and I made it through the year without COVID or the Flu! If you know us from 2021 it was a ruff year from the passing of my dad, Butch hospitalized for COVID and me having COVID at the same time at home.
๐All of our friends who inspire, love and have been encouraging and uplifting in our good times and through our challenges as we grow.
๐ซAll the wonderful people around the globe ๐ I got to know through work, by business, church, and Facebook education groups.
๐ธCreating unforgettable moments behind the scenes and behind the camera!
๐One of the things I knocked out of my burdens was having right hand surgery around the first of October. It was a set back for me since I am right handed. I have learned that each time you reach the top of a hill, you've also just reached the base of the next one to climb. I have recovered well. The photograph I have posted here is climbing up the mountain and not by myself. My husband carried my camera bag, helped me set up my tripod, and gave me strength to still use my mind and creativity!
As a photographer I have had a ear to listen to clients in need of something, a story, a journey, or a burden.
Example:
A child that is 9 years old mom is dying of terminal cancer and they haven't had their photograph taken.
A mom pregnant, getting COVID, having a baby boy, her husband was sick and she gave birth without him and spent New Years in the hospital.
The point is we have 365 days and 365 chances to grow, learn, live, give, love, forgive, encourage, explore, pray, be grateful, and LISTEN!
May 2023 bring you joy, happiness, strength, photographic memories, health, prosperity, friendships, and wealth. Wishing you and your family a HAPPY NEW YEAR!โจ๐๐
