Linked 52 | Up

UP:


to, toward, or in a more elevated position


out of bed: to get up.


a rise of fortune, mood, etc


Informal a feeling or state of happiness,exuberance, or elation.


This week, all of these definitions of Up apply to me.  


Made some major changes this week.  Started on a new fitness regimen and healthier lifestyle that is a huge challenge for me, but just what I need.  Got rid of some old habits and starting new ones.  I am moving in a positive direction and I know what I'm doing will make me a better wife, mother and person.  My body is hurting and every muscle is sore, but it's the best feeling. In 5 short days my mood has been lifted, I'm feeling happier, and already noticing changes.


Another reason I'm feeling up this week is I finally started my photography mentorship with the uber fabulous & talented Kristin.  It was my birthday gift and I'm so excited for this journey to take my photography to the next level.  Learned so much in my first lesson and can't wait for the next one.  But I got to remember to do my homework or I may get in trouble :)



As of last night I still hadn't taken my picture for this week's assignment and stumped on what to shoot, I went outside and looked up:


  






Today we're also celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary.  Looking forward to a nice dinner out with my hubby tonight to celebrate.  

Things are definitely looking up!
