You probably won’t hear a lot from me between now and the new year. The holidays get a little nuts when you have little ones running around. Things that used to take a few hours, now span days.
Ordinarily, I don’t really bother with New Year’s resolutions. Most are silly, and I generally don’t have time for any major changes to my life right now. I have a lot waiting for me on the other side of January 1st as it is.
However, I have stumbled across a few new blogs that I am absolutely in love with, and I have found myself inspired to participate in a sort of blog project. I haven’t done a full year BP since the PBP a couple of years back.
I found Far North Family at the tail end of a blog project called “Photos of my kids. Once a Week. Every Week.” I love this idea. My camera will be back from Nikon in a few short weeks all repaired and sparkly. Hopefully in time for the new year, but I can start even without my beloved DSLR.
In my usual style, of course, I can’t follow the rules as set out. I must put my own spin on it. So, beginning in January, I will begin a similar photo project that I have dubbed 52 Weeks of Calgary. Every week I will post 3 or 4 photos of my life here in Calgary. Some will be of my kids, but I want to also take this opportunity to find the beauty of this place. I think that this will help me through the long winter ahead.
If I can find something lovely about my neighbourhood or the city in general every week, I think it will help keep the homesickness at bay. Especially when spring comes to BC and forgets about Alberta.
So, if I don’t manage another post between now and the new year, happy holidays everyone. I hope that whichever holy days you celebrate bring you much joy.
A Less Travelled Path 
The holidays get crazy here, too. I’m so depressed but need to snap out of it because I am the mother of a 6 year old Holiday Martha Stewart. Thanks for the links. I’m trying to find new blogs.
One blog that I find helps me to keep things in perspective is called Calm Things (calmthings.blogspot.com). I love her photos and the related poetry.
