Self Portrait Sunday 5/24/2009

May24

Yep. someone touched the lens, but this was the best of the lot. I really need to look at the instruction book and figure this camera out!

This has been an interesting week. And I don’t necessarily mean that in a good way. I’ve been watching a couple of my friends struggle with issues for which I have no answers. The one I truly have no advice for, and the other just wants time and space to settle things within themselves. It’s hard for me to just stand by and wait, I want to *do something*, because I do not like seeing those I care about hurt.

I did do some other things, though. My answer to big stress is hard work, so I mowed my yard and pulled out the matted grass tufts and planted flowers Friday night. The stargazer lilies we planted last week are blooming now. Aren’t they lovely?

I guess it’s time to go mow the backyard now, cause you know what today brought, right? Yep, more stress. Nothing like coming to see your ex walking out of your bedroom. Whattheheck, yk? And then there’s that other situation, the one that requires the waiting I hate. Yep, definitely time for yard work.

    I love flowers but I live in the apartment so that I do not have much space for flowers. To make the situation even worse, I heard a few days ago that the violet toxic to cats so I donated the nine flowerpot. These lilies are really beautiful.

    I love self-portraits. It’s always wonderful to see people, seeing themselves…through the camera.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
