LIFE ON THE SIDEWALK a photo essay

As most of you know I move in a wheelchair. My observations
are different than someone who walks. Quite simply, I'm lower
to the ground. So I thought it would be fun to share my perspective, literally.

I live on the sidewalk, which isn't always easy in my neck of the woods. There are a lot of streets without sidewalks.

Quiet Reflection Sunday- Listen

Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.


Anne Sexton

Hope you all have enjoyed the holidays.
I spend the time between Christmas and New
Year in reflection. I briefly look back and then move on to the coming year.


This year my focus is on joy. What brings joy
to my life and how can I, in my own small way, 
share that joy.

I thought it would be fun to hear from you about
joy. What brings joy to your life?

Have a wonderful, safe New Year.

Autumn- The Changing Season

Autumn is a season of transition. Melancholy sets in for me at this time of year. It's a time for remembering how life is always

changing. I remember years gone-by, loved ones long deceased.

And yet, in the back of my mind, I know there will be Spring.

I have been taking lots of photos this changing season. My hands refuse to cooperate with needle and thread. A shift is taking place

with regard to my artwork also. I have decided to remove color

from my photos, focusing on light and shadow. Winter time is a perfect time for black and white.

What kind of change is taking place for you?

Take care,

Sue
