this past year

JackieR challenged me to take a photograph that typifies the past twelve months. Between the pandemic and mom's struggles the first nine months were stressful. Mom's lifeline is her phone on which she texts her daily stream of consciousness which, as a 94 year old widow who misses her home, husband, and family and faces daily health challenges, is not uplifting. Still, she seems to have turned a corner, and the last few months have been better. Taking on the horse photography project also helped me turn a corner too. Hoping we will all have a better 2022.
April, this is such a powerful photograph, and narrative. You have portrayed your year so well, I do so hope my challenge wasn't distressing to complete.

I wish you a less stressful 2022, hope you continue your horse project, always a fabulous photo to view.

JackieR @30pics4jackiesdiamond Tough year. I wanted to curl up into a fetal position, but went with this as most of the year was spent with the phone in my hand.

This is an awesome shot, April. It is so very emotional and I can see the stress in your face.
A FAV!

Speaks so well of stress, tension and concern. Prayers that your 2022 is a year with less of all three. Fav!

You certainly met the challenge with this shot (probably for many of us) Prayers for a calmer 2022 for you and your mom - and all the 365 family that keeps each other in mind and helps all of us through the troubling times.

I can only agree with all the above April! Wishing you and you Mum a healthy and easier 2022.
