Pictures from the Past Year

I'm getting ready to trade in my Palm Pre cell phone for a Blackberry. Part of that process involved downloading all of my images / video from my Palm onto my computer. I never realized how many photos I have on that silly little phone! Going through the past year's worth of shots, I pulled some of my favorites:

Metis, QC


Gagnon Art Gallery


What?! Gotta love store advertising


My favorite place setting ever (plates are from the 19th Century)


And, my newest NYJL committee, Pegs Closet


This morning, P and I went for a really good run along Riverside Park. The morning proved to be sunny but not too hot - great running weather all around. While I was running, I kept having this nagging reminder that I should do a five-Monday fast. I've wanted to do to this fast for quite some time, but the timing finally seemed right. All day, even though I wasn't deprived of food (I had fruit for breakfast and lunch, and a home-cooked dinner), I kept being reminded of the fast - what you can eat, when you can eat, what you can't eat... It was actually a really great feeling and a reminder that you don't need to consume anything and everything that crosses your mind. On top of that, I felt much more connected to God and a sense of spirituality. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks of this enlightenment.
