In the almighty name of internet accountability, I thought I’d share the progress on Project 365.

While millions are out there resolving to lose weight and kiss in the rain, I’m enhancing society by taking daily pictures with my iPhone.

You’re welcome!

 

The best news so far about Project 365 is that I’m actually doing it. My goal this year is to notice the small, everyday happenings, and having an alarm go off at 5 p.m. every night gives me a second to think about what, if anything, I’ve attended to that day.

I’m definitely memory-challenged, so it’s already fun to look back over the past three weeks and see where we’ve been.

Statistically speaking, 27% of these photos concern food. And that is holding back. I think I’m noticing food more than just about anything.

Sometimes the food is great…like this hot chocolate with heart-shaped-whipped-cream after school on a snowy day.

Other times, the food represented failure.

Sometimes of epic proportions.

Sometimes on people’s birthdays.

Yeah, pretty much the other theme I’ve noticed is capturing failure.

Is it more interesting than success? Maybe.

Sometimes it hurts the heart.

But thank goodness there are unexpected moments where beauty and timing collide…like when the morning sky is painted with neon mercy.

Soldier-on, fellow Project 365ers. And if you haven’t started yet, it’s never too late.

Clearly, this isn’t about perfection:)
