About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 109 - April 19, 2011

Helen Jean Bush Barnett - My Mother
This is not the best pic of mother, but she woud always move or something before my camera would finish the shot.  So, this is the best I could get of her.  She is wearing really large glasses in this pic because she recently lost her glasses--yep, they just disappeared, never to be seen again.  Luckily, I had an old pair of glasses that she could wear.  We will be getting her a new pair of glasses soon.  In the meantime, I am thankful for these big old clunky ones.  At least she can see and doesn't sit in the hallway crying, which is what she was doing until I brought her these glasses (yep, that's what was going on until I found out she didn't have any glasses and brought these lovely frames to her).

Poor momma!  Life isn't easy for her these days, but we are all making the best of the situation.  I don't understand why she is having to go through this, but I've been told that nothing touches that doesn't go through HIS (God's) hands first.  I just have to trust Him to see us through these days.  Say a prayer for my family and for my precious mother!

  1. Oh, Cheryl. My heart breaks for you over this. It can be so lonely at the nursing home. Is she allowed to have a Beta fish for a pet? Glad you had some glasses you could bring for her.
