reflections

day 365:


i can't believe it has been an entire year.


when i started this project i had no idea what it would turn into.


first of all, i thought it was going to be easy... it was not.


sometimes there wasn't anything to take pictures of. sometimes i was tired and didn't feel like blogging. sometimes i didn't have time to sit and come up with anything witty or amusing to write. sometimes i wondered about what i had gotten myself into.


but i'm glad i stuck it out... because sometimes in those moments when i had to get creative, my favorite blogs were born.


and interestingly enough, i thought that this would just be a blog of pictures, but it was so much more than that. it was a journal. a window into the life of mindy balut. a memento of who i am.


and who am i? 


i am a wife. a sister. a daughter. a shoe lover, dog lover, food lover. a business card collector.


i am sensitive. lovable. funny. caring. hopeful. dedicated. creative. 


i am a teacher. a student. a friend. a confidante. 


i am a mother.


i am a writer. a dreamer. a wisher. 


i am a photographer.

Great job Mindy. Your writing and photography are wonderful. I'm going to miss seeing and hearing about you and your beautiful family. Strange, we don't even know each other but I feel like I'm losing a little piece of family. dlpcummings
