A Year In My Shoes

I have always wanted to do a 365 blog. I was too scared to give it a try though. After watching my cousin and lifelong BFF successfully do one last year I wanted to do one even more. The problem is a year is a long time and if I was going to do this I needed to have a plan. I knew it couldn't be a random picture each day because I would never be able to stick with that. I also knew that I couldn't do one of those blogs where you constantly change themes and have something specific to do each day or week. Those are just too much work and I knew if it couldn't be done in my everyday life it just wouldn't happen. Then just the other night I was outside sitting on my porch enjoying the evening after work with my family. I was editing photos and watching TV on my iphone while the girls were playing on the porch. I grabbed my camera to take a picture of something they were doing and for some reason I started goofing around taking random pictures (ok in all honesty this is pretty typical of me). I took one of my shoes and realized it had captured so much of life in one simple snapshot. It showed me enjoying the evening kicked back on the porch editing photos and watching saved by the bell. Yes I was watching Saved By the Bell. That’s Mr. Belding in the picture and just so you know its just as good today as it was 23 years ago. That’s when I realized this would be my 365 blog. I would take a picture of my shoes every day for a year. I would do my best to capture something each day to catch just a small glimpse of my life. From the awesome to the mundane. I'm fully expecting much more of the mundane than the awesome but even so I think it will be fun after a year to look back and see what I was up to. Its not so much about the shoes I wear but the places they travel and the road they take. I can't wait to see where they take me.
