This year I’ve decided to participate in Project 52, hosted by Darcy of My 3 Boybarians.
P52 is a weekly photo challenge that encourages “photographers” to spend more time with their camera actually using it. I certainly don’t refer to myself as a photographer, but I’m most definitely someone who enjoys taking pictures.
Although I enjoy it, if I’m not at a holiday event, I often forget that my camera can be used. I don’t have to have friends and family surrounding me to pull out the camera and it doesn’t have to be the biggest party that creates an excuse to get it out.
Hopefully, as Darcy says, this will finally be a resolution I can keep! 
This week’s challenge was: Resolution.
Normally each year you’d find me saying, “I want to lose weight. I want to get organized. I want, I want…”
While I do work at many of those things throughout the year, I often forget what I initially set out to do. This year, I’ve chosen to follow in the footsteps of many of my friends and I’ve chosen one word to focus on: NOW.
Whaaaa? Now? Yes, NOW.
Too many times I say, “I’ll do that later. I don’t have time.” I’m missing out on things. I’m passing up opportunities. Instead of walking by the pile of laundry that I don’t want to tackle, I hope to stop, fold some clothes, and move along.
As much as I hate laundry it might free up spare time down the road to do something that I really, really want to do – like watch a movie or bake up some sweet treats.

That is so true! Love the red! So vibrant!
Love! I also do my best to live in the HERE and NOW. It’s completely liberating.

I love the reflection of your curtains on the dial of the timer!
Funny – at first I was unhappy with that, but then I thought, “I’ll always remember where this photo was taken!”
Love it! *NOW* xo-K
I like your word! I chose a word for myself too. I liked the idea of it better than I do the whole resolution thing, even though it is kind of the same thing. Anyway, your word is wonderful and so is your photograph.
Hello!
I really like your photo, and great your resolution!
Petonets xoxo
This is such a cool picture! I’m the biggest procrastinator EVER, so I was totally inspired by your post.
I am, too, so welcome! We can get through this together – haha!
Great resolution! And I love the red in your photo–my favorite color!
That is the most gorgeous picture of a timer EVAH! Lighting is fabulous and the color is, well, so vibrant that a Macaw would be jealous! Great project, I need to go take a look at this!
I highly recommend it, Suzanne. You would probably love Darcy’s blog, too. She’s such a talented photographer!
I love your photo and your word. I especially love that you combined the two for resolution. I like the reflections in the dial of the timer. My word for the year is “Dwell.” Happy New Year!
Hello fellow procrastinator! Look forward to seeing your next photo too.
You are very brave to have ‘now’ be your word.
Also? Can I please have that timer? It would go beautifully in my kitchen.
It’s so funny how many compliments I got on that timer. I use it for everything though! If I knew where to find one just like it, I’d totally get one for ya!
