Music sets my heart to thinking. It's almost like traveling down the sandy roads of my childhood. I could not wait for the future, and now with more years behind me than in front of me, I best be careful that I not fall into melancholy.  I am sitting at my sons house as he plays the piano. It's almost like David the psalmist soothing the moment. He is playing Christmas music and I LOVE IT!!!! He says he is trying to record a Christmas album of music. I cannot wait. I think I will use it in my office. So soothing and peaceful.

Lately, I am wanting to get back to my writing. I miss it. I had hoped to incorporate it into my photography work. Maybe I will start a yearbook of each year and publish it at the end of the year for Christmas gifts for my family. Thinking this next year, I forget totally about the business of photography and only shoot for myself. I have figured the books this year and I am under by$173. SO if I make $173 by the end of December, I will break even.

If I break even, all my props, prints, and supplies will all be paid for. I am thinking this is the year I will shoot a couple of "Trash the dress" shoots because I want to. I have been relunctant because I looked at the dresses as valueable "sale" items and did not want to ruin resale value. BUT I bought  them to have fun. So I think this next year, I am going to do that. JUST HAVE FUN!

This past week has been very productive. My house is back in order, the props are being sorted out, and I am getting a handle on what I want to do.
I spent one day on a room in my house, just cleaning and straightening this past week. I worked a little bit today in the office. I have been working on an order of my photography book, 'Garden Party'. It is an awesome compilation of flowers and gardens (Huntsville Garden Tour) that I went on back in June. It is a 100 page book filled with flowers and garden things. I offered it for sale and have 10 orders to fulfill. I am so excited and think I would like to do more of that.
