before the snow came.
i played in the dried grasses at the pond and chased the sun. it's one of my favorite things to do. i've always been pretty good at hide and seek.
can you believe a few years ago i used to delete the photos that had sun spots on them.
i didn't know much then.
i'm participating in reverb 10 and i haven't played well with them these past few days.
i was kind of busy and weekends fill me up.
i know they do the same to you, too.
their most recent prompt was "what do you make" and i kind of laughed. i really don't cook {just like debi} or even bake christmas cookies. i haven't sewn anything all year. i've doodled a few things on my calendar while talking to my friends on the phone and i painted a few faces in an art class with misty. but heck i can't even make my hair do what i want it to do.
so
what do i make
~
hmmm
~
i guess
i make people smile
usually because i'm taking their photo
and
sometimes just because i'm a goofball who laughs at herself
~
so if smiles are what i make
i'm good with that
and
it's much less messier than anything made with glue

Smiles aren't always easy to make, but when you are successful it's contagious. As of this writing, you've made 24 commentor's before me smile.
ReplyDeleteYep, you make things.
