Just Keep Swimming

To be honest I had no smart intention when I shot this, no witty bit planned to say. I just wanted my cat's fishy toy to look like it was in water, by using blue paper and aluminum foil to cast 'waves' on it.

While I was doing my little editing I started thinking about how much my life is MINE now. You know I started doing 365 to do something solely for me, my OWN project. While I feel more and more like this 365 is for more than just myself, I love this community. I realize how my entire life right now is for ME. I used to live to make my ex other half happy, trying too hard to make 'us' work that I faded away. I mean sure I was a selfish brat at times and I messed up too... but I feel all the good intention was lost. Well HELLO LIFE :) I'm back, I kept on swimming. Of course I still care about my family and friends loads, I am living my life for me and it feels wonderful!

Oh and yes i'm still a little sick, but if you couldn't tell I am feeling better, thank you for all the well wishes from yesterday. I truly didn't expect that amount of response to my medicine picture :) Love you all!!!
That is so cute :) Keep on swimming Dannielle! it's great to live for yourself and know who you really are :D

Super cute!! And so creative! You always have something great to say too, planned or no ;) and there's nothing at all wrong with doing some things just for you!

Your water effect is spot on. Love how you put this together. Most of all, have to agree that 365 is a family and I enjoy spending some time with you on it even if it's short thru comments, etc. Kudos to you for your perserverance and for realizing you are worth concentrating on!
