December Ditties - 2018 - December Reflections

Favorite photo of 2018:

There are a lot of photos to choose from as I took over 3,000 photos during the course of the year so far.  These two stand out though, not so much for the quality of the photos but for what they represent.

The first one was taken at our daughter's graduation from Sonoma State College in May of this year.  Coincidentally it was also the date of our 34th anniversary.  The promises we made to each other on our wedding day have held us together and enabled us to raise three wonderful adults.  It is not always smiles and there are definitely days when it is really hard, just like our daughter's educational experience, but it is definitely worth it in the end. 



I took this second picture at the Phil Collins concert my son and I went to in October.  I love the way Phil's son is looking at him and I know that they were both very proud of each other at that moment.  Again, I'm sure it is not always easy for either of them, but the love comes through here I think.  



Here are the prompts again for #decemberreflections2018 in case you want to play along.

  1. I love these reflections, as they frame (or are framed by) other stories. Thanks for the reminder of Susannah Conway's monthly prompts. I don't know that I'll do every one of them, but it'll be fun to hop in and out. Happy December, Janet!

    2. I agree, Melodye! A simple word or phrase can make you really think. I will look forward to seeing what you share. Some I may share on instagram instead of here.

  2. Congratulations on your daughter's graduation, and your 34th wedding anniversary. I also love the shot of Phil Collins and his son. Thank you for sharing these with us!

    1. Thanks Donna! She worked really hard and we are so proud - just as Phil Collins showed us how proud he was of his son, who was a really good drummer by the way.
