Our Disney Photopass disc arrived today and here is one of the pictures. DH looks wonderful in all of them but that darn broken tooth had me doing all kinds of grimacing rather than smiling so I'm not overly thrilled with most of them for me.
I love the Disney Photopass program, although it has gotten very expensive. But I use their editing software before I order, so all our pictures are available to us both "plain" and with lots of Disney add-ons. We had about 100 pictures taken of us that week and I ended up with more than 350.
Here's one that's fun, even if it isn't particularly attractive: I have to take DS for a "procedure" tomorrow, so I'll maybe getting some stitching or tatting done. Let's hope the waiting room is well lit and at least vaguely comfortable. I swear the people who design those places should be made to sit there for a day- they'd improve most of them pretty quick if they did!
I'm off to bed with another good book; I hope I can sleep tonight earlier than last night!
When I started this blog in October 2007, there was a story here about my connection to "Tilting With Windmills". Much of what was in that post no longer applies. Much other of it still does. So, here's the story.
When I was graduating from high school, more than 40 years ago, a group of my friend presented me with a print of Picasso's Don Quixote. They said it reminded me of them.
I get upset when things are wrong, even though getting upset cannot fix them. I dislike people who are cruel or petty or self-serving, and am frustrated that I cannot change them. I fight a daily battle with my health, although I know that every new day is another battle. I have a husband and close friends who support me, even when what I want or believe seems crazy.
So, the comparison with Don Quixote is perhaps an apt one. The story encourages me to take on the battles I see, even the hopeless ones. It reminds me to try to see the best in people. It comforts me that, in the end, even if my actions are futile, they are not meaningless.
I mean to try to continue "to dream the impossible dream".
