The Gift of an Ordinary Day

Posted on Dec 27, 2011

“I know I can’t make time slow down, can’t hold our life as it is in a freeze frame or slow my children’s inexorable journeys into adulthood and lives of their own. But I can celebrate those journeys by bearing witness to them, by paying attention, and, perhaps most of all, by carrying on with my own growth and becoming. ” {Katrina Kenison, The Gift of an Ordinary Day}

Let’s Lasso the Moon Tip: Take a moment to watch this author’s reading. I promise it is worth your time.  You might want to grab some tissues.

Here are a few of my favorite “ordinary day” moments from the 2010 Project 365.

Still uncertain about the commitment of joining a group project? Stay tuned this week on Develop to learn about…

  • The Zen nature of photography and how you can use Project 52 or Project 366 to
    capture the power of being present in your daily life.
  • Fun alternative ways to participate in a group project over the course of the year even if you “have no time.”

Questions? Let me know!

PS: Are you thinking, “What the heck is Project 366 anyhow?”

It is the commitment to take a single photo every day for a full year. Many people start their project on January 1st, but you can begin on any date. It is a wonderful way to improve your photography skills, get to know a friend, or document ordinary family moments.

Being a parent is NOT a prerequisite. Some of my favorite photos from our 2010 Project 365 came from a bachelor. If the thought of 366 photos feels overwhelming Develop is also offering a-photo-a-week Project 52!
