inspiration.

Inspiration has a funny way of finding you when you need it most. Over the past few days I have been digging deep into my internet footprints. You know, visiting myspace, old blogs, shutterfly, photobucket, and every other site that I have uploaded a picture on. I am working on saving all the pictures so they don't get forgotten about. On this journey of photo salvaging, I have found inspiration in myself. Yes, me.

I used to go on photo adventures quite frequently. I'd just wander around and look for bits of magic to photograph. Hopefully the weather will corporate with me this weekend and I will be able to get out and aimlessly adventure. I feel like my soul needs it.

 I used to dress like this on the regular. I can't remember the last time I wore anything except blue jeans in my day to day life outside of work. I miss this.

 Okay...now I know it is hard to get past that phone from sooooo long ago[my prized pink blackberry pearl] but it is laying on a spoon purse. I carried a purse with spoons on it. This serves as inspiration to be more bold.

Man, I miss having a yard. I used to spend a lot more time outside. This was a cardinal that I befriended one summer and named Stanley. He eventually let me get pretty close to him without flying away. I'd visit him the same time each night and each night he'd come sit on the same branch. I think this is the most I've ever bonded with an animal that wasn't a pet. Ever since that summer I have called Cardinals 'Stanleys'. I hope to take my small piece of cement patio at the apartment and turn it into a cozy,charming spot.

My goal for the spring is to stay inspired. I'll share my adventures with you all along the way.
