This Christmas I took no pictures. I didn't capture the moment to later admire or remember, I just lived in it. Instead of capturing the morning breakfast and present opening fun, I just watched. I didn't look for that great shot, I just hung out.
Will I regret my lack of picture taking later? Probably..
Will I miss seeing the joy months later? Who knows...
I know eventually I will get back up to speed on my scrap booking and have nothing to scrap for Christmas 2011. Maybe instead of pictures, I'll journal it all, if I remember any of it.
How did I spend my day if I wasn't busy with pictures? I started helping Bean set up her crystal growing kit, Hubs will be going to Radio Shack later in the week for more parts. We all played Kinect Sports 2, Chicken is going to drive me crazy playing football with that one. We built a number of paper monsters, that has been a surprise hit. Lastly, I hung out on the couch a lot and did nothing. I find doing nothing quiet useful on occasion, without occasionally doing nothing we forget what doing something looks like.
This spate of nothingness won't last long, and I assume next year there will be pictures taken and forced poses in all sorts of positions for the holidays. For now, I will enjoy my total lack of picture taking and my general Zen state of nothingness.
Next post, my New Years Cleaning Jag.....
Have a good down week.
