Farewell by janetb

Farewell

Picture 365! Raindrops sparkled on my dill’s delicate, finely divided leaves this morning; and I’m not surprised that I began and now find myself ending my 365 project with an image from my kitchen garden. Each morning, I head out there to take a deep breath and enjoy the freshness of the new day. My little sanctuary provides an endless source of peace, delight, and wonder!

Tomorrow morning when I step out to the garden, I won’t have my camera with me; and surely, that will feel a bit strange. I am, however, looking forward to having more time to freely observe and reflect on God’s gifts. This project opened my eyes ever wider to His ever present grace!

Many thanks are in order. I thank God for bringing 365 into my life right when I needed it. While incapacitated throughout my project by an Achilles tendon injury, making my picture each day brought me joy, gave me purpose, and kept me focused on His goodness. I thank my wonderful family for their interest and endless encouragement, especially my amazing husband who did everything else while I elevated my foot and did 365. I pray my love for my family shines throughout my project! I also thank you, fellow 365ers. Your beautiful images and interesting commentaries lifted my spirits and took me on a tour around the world all the while I could barely walk. Your kind comments on my images inspired me. I am sincerely grateful, and I will miss you all. Perhaps one day we’ll meet again here on 365!

Funny, 365 came into my life at the onset of my injury and comes to an end as my healing finds normalcy returning. It's no coincidence — just God’s perfect provision!
congratulation on completing 365. Sorry you will not be continuing. I have enjoyed seeing your shots - but pleased that you are now fit again. Take care and perhaps you will pop in again sometime. Wishing you well.

Congratulations, Janet! I've been burning out for some time and don't know how much more I will "do," but when the camera is repaired and a new lens arrives, we'll see! Best wishes & good health!

It is a great day for you, your last picture here on 365. Congratulations Janet, well done! Your deep spiritual connection, your positive outlook on life and your love of nature shine bright in your project. It has been my pleasure following you and sharing part of the journey together. Take care of yourself and maybe (just maybe) you will come back one day to do it all again. Health and happiness to you and your family. :)

What a lovely conclusion for your project, Janet. It has been such a pleasure following you through this journey. Nova expressed her thoughts far better than I'm able to - you have brought so much in addition to your photos. Best wishes for continued peace, health, and enjoyment with your family. Hope you'll drop by once in a while. Fav

As I just posted my photos tonight, I read your note & was about to see what else I might post when the notion struck me that I may not comment on your pictures as often as I'd like. There you have it...directed to this beautiful picture and to read that it's your final bow! You've always had the kindest of words for my pictures, and I love the way you're always moved to see the best in the world that we've been offered. God bless you as you go on your way, but please drop by now and then; many of us will miss your presence, but understand the lack of time here when fully involved! You're likely to receive a note or two on your site after your departure; you'll be missed! Happy Trails...

Congratulations, Janet! Thank you for sharing your faith on this website - and your photos have been wonderful. I will miss you, but am glad you're all healed up now. Enjoy whatever the Lord has next for you! I'm sure it will be something very special!

YOU were a gift to us who were allowed to share in just a little snippet of your life, your positive attitude, and your caring and thoughtful words not only in your stories but in comment to our endeavours. I agree it's a time consuming project when you do your best and I admire you are able to take the good from it and go forward into ventures new free from distractions. Blessings and peace be with you.
