I like a lot of people used to hate having my picture taken. What I would see never matched up with how carefully I looked in the mirror. But once I took a photography course in self portraiture. It made me more accepting of my looks and willing to put myself out into the world not in a self indulgent way but in a more self confident way. In this day of selfies I guess that’s ok.
I took this picture when I was getting in car and heading for my watercolor class at Mayville. It really shows me in my happy space. More and more I am trying to do things that bring a smile to my face. Carpe diem has become my rally cry. Especially this summer. Our winters come fast and stay long so in the nice weather months I try to cram in as much living as I can.
OH PEGGY! yes! I yelled there. LOLOL!

I'm one of those who hates her pictures always. (and I consider myself a very happy person!)
