three friends. two cities. one photo a day
The part of the story that I didn't include yesterday was that before going to the sale, I prayed. I felt embarrassed even telling my husband yesterday. I prayed that God would teach me something. Even at a silly garage sale? Yes. I know myself well enough that my first reaction is to dive headfirst into the piles, get way too caught up in the treasure hunting, and leave my husband and friend, who are not hard-core thrift fans, bored and unhappy. I think that's probably why I asked God to help. When the whole pin incident happened I told my friend about my silly prayer and she asked, "so what do you think was the lesson?". I had no clue.! It just felt like a sign, but about what exactly, I honestly could not answer. |

Today I went to a garage sale, the Glebe Garage Sale to be exact. It's an annual event that spans across 16 city blocks and attracts bargain hunters, some who venture out at 6AM! I was excited because I've never been and wanted to check out what all the fuss was about. |

This tree reminds me of the staples - the sharp and rough edges - in my life that need to be taken out, one by one. |

I'll admit that I'm a pretty big wimp, and being sick and sicker for the past three weeks has really tired me out, especially when I wake up one day feeling better and think that I'm on the road to recovery, only to find out in the evening I was walking backwards on that road. Yesterday I hit a very low point and was in total distress. The coughing was getting more violent and continuous and I was just beside myself not knowing when this would stop. K suggested new meds and I made a breakthrough last night - I could breathe again and I think I'm really getting better! I am so thankful for the care of people who love me and access to medication. |

For the first time in almost two weeks, I slept through six hours straight and it felt so good when I woke up. To top that off with a visit from good friends made for an amazing day. |

This was the only one I had energy for. And in all honesty, the skyline - as often as I shoot it - was very moving. A calm and soft wave of light compared to the dramatic bold clouds last night. I love this view. |
