Sometime during the fall I stopped blogging because my blog broke.

How a blog breaks it beyond my comprehension but apparently there was a virus in my files somewhere & so nothing was working as it should. 2 helpful & smartie panted gals I know did a reinstall for me but for now, they cannot import my old posts. It leaves me feeling a little sad at the thought of losing 3 years of writing but also wondering if maybe a clean slate is not just the thing I needed.

2009 was one of the strangest years ever. Ironic and oppositional on every level. Both the happiest & the saddest. The most exhilarating & the most exhausting. I learned a lot & yet was left with more questions than ever. Yes indeed, a fresh start & some clarity are just what the doctor ordered!

The thing I realized most when my blog was busted is that I actually missed writing. I missed sharing photos & thoughts & words. So in 2010, I plan to get back at it. I have some cool new places to shoot this year, some plans to travel for work & of course, my 4 kiddos who I don’t photograph nearly enough. Lots to share & hopefully one or two people still left reading to share it with! Plus, it will be much easier to keep my resoultion to blog than it will be to keep my resolution to lose weight. We all want to feel like winners, right?

I shall leave you with  photo that reminds us all that no matter how hard you fall to the ground, look up at the sky & smile.
