New Photo Challenge..

So, I was inspired in a round-about way by my love to up my blog content a bit... I love to post crazy pics, but after talking to him about it realized that these pictures don't really add up to much... don't get me wrong, I am still close with my dad and still love remembering, with fondness, Captain Weiner, but there's got to be more to life than who I'd like to change places with for a day (I mean, at the risk of sounding a bit too much like Keith Urban, I got the one I love beside me, my troubles behind me, I'm alive and I'm free, who wouldn't wanna be me??)

So, with that motivation, I've decided to change my blog a bit... from now on I will be posting pictures that have inspired me in one way or another... some of these photos will be self-taken, some will be ones I've found elsewhere... either way, no more frivolous photos with little meaning to me... on that same note, this means that my blog may or may not have a new post each day, cuz let's face it, somedays it's hard to find anything inspirational around... I work with two wonderful, adorable children who inspire me almost daily, but have a problem posting pics of other people's kids online... something about pedophile predators... 

I'm starting this new blog with a picture of some flowers that, despite the harsh frigid winter days we've been having here in good ol' GR, managed to sprout up in the yard outside Caleb's apartment... and if that weren't inspiring enough, the love of my life picked some of these flowers, planted them in a pot and placed them on our end table for me... 

  We have no idea what kind of flowers they are, or what kind of plant they came off, but I think they're absolutely beautiful... 
So, when the days seem cold and dreary and you just can't wait for warmer brighter days, remember these flowers and be sure to shine no matter what the weather outside is doing... : )
