May project: my typical day

May 15, 2013

It’s day 15 in the blog every day challenge. Today’s prompt are showing photos from a typical day.

Currently I’m visiting family in Michigan so my day yesterday was anything but typical but I’ll share anyhow (also there are a lot of feet pictures). These were all taken with my iphone so the quality is perhaps not the best.

-Then I took a lunch break (leftover vegan pad thai) and read a book.IMG_2022
-Then my mom sweetly offered to give my a much needed pedicure. I read a few magazines.IMG_2029
-I cuddled with my mom’s little dog a lot. We had some good laughs when I put my scarf on her. IMG_2030
-I went to jazzercise with my mom (she goes most days and is a little off her schedule with my visit).IMG_2031
-We made meatless tacos for dinner.IMG_2032
-And ate them outside until it got too chilly.IMG_2033
Then we lazied around and watched a few tv shows.

What’s a typical visiting family day like for you?

May project: I’m most of afraid of…

May 7, 2013

It’s day 7 of the blog every day in May. The prompt today is: The thing(s) you are most afraid of.

I really can’t imagine that everyone’s answer to this question is much different. Of course I’m afraid of things day to day but at the very heart and core of my fear is death. I’m afraid of heights because if you fall from a long way up the outcome isn’t good. I’m afraid of deep water because one could drowned. I’m afraid of extreme adventure sports because something could so easily go wrong. I’m afraid of car accidents and plane crashes. I’m afraid of cancer and heart attacks.

What’s even scarier sometimes is that if none of these tragic things happen and we live to be really old we will all still die one day. All the people I love one day will die. I think this thought for me comes up daily. It’s a quick passing thought and it makes me extremely sad but I let it go. I feel like at this level we can all relate.

What is your biggest fears?
