Lots of goodness + some sickness.
Tags:
One of the things I am continually inspired by on the internet are all the people doing good things, encouraging + inspiring others, and generally spreading joy.
Here's a few I have been linked to or come across lately:
Design For Mankind issue one + issue twovia Sarah + Jamaica
Slice of Life Story ChallengefromTwo Writing Teachers
Rebecca Sower's Day to Disconnect and her follow up post
The Art of the American Snapshot (also here)
Around here I have been getting ready for the Creating Keepsakes Convention this weekend in Portland, working on my column, and taking care of Simon. He has been home the last couple of days with some sort of gastroenteritis - lots of trips to the bathroom and one trip to the ER on Monday night to make sure it wasn't appendicitis (one of those great 11pm - 2am trips). Definitely thankful for a nap earlier in the day and Ratatouille + Photo Booth on the laptop to make the waiting time a little easier to handle.
It's pretty crazy that we have been to Urgent Care + the ER three times in the last couple months. Once for my ear infection on Christmas Eve, once for Chris' flu (which Simon got as well), and then this last time for Simon. Hoping this is the end for a long time of these sorts of visits.
Hoping you and yours are happy + healthy.

I love your blog (on my girl boxmaker blog roll). I have to say that I was very touched by the Simple Truths video. I have son with Down syndrome and I found the video extremely touching. Thank you for sharing that.

Could you please post a warning that readers should go get a box of Kleenex before clicking links? It could have saved my sleeve.
Thanks for always inspiring.

OH I was just thinking about you after I went & saw The Art of the American Snapshot exhibit yesturday afternoon. I loved it! It made me want to take more everyday photos. It was nice seeing how people lived then. What they felt was important to them. The only good thing was you couldn't delete any photos.
I want to challenge everyone to a week of everyday photos & don't delete them!! Keep them.
have Fun!

HA! Wait until he falls off his bike in the 100 yds between your house and the neighbor boy's and you discover that your dental converage comes with a yearly limit! Boys are so fun!

Oooo, so hard to go to the emergency room so many times in such a short time. We all have what we affectionately call "the crud" and it's not pleasant (coughing, gooey eyes, stuffed noses and heads) but it's not emergency room worthy, thank goodeness.
Although I was at the emergency room last week with my husband after one of his acting students slammed his hand in a door and fractured his finger. That was my book deadline day, but what can you do, say, "What are you doing, I've got a deadline?"
Can't undo that kinda of stuff. Only way out is through.
Hope you are through with E-room trips!
