I'm participating in Ali Edwards Week in the Life. This is the third year I've documented a week in the lives of the CK5.
The goal is to document each day for one week -- the rituals, the stuff, the daily grind -- capturing the stories of what is happening now, at this chapter of my life.
Ali suggests we answer the question, "what is the truth of my day?" as I walk around my house, my work, my kids school...think about the truths that make up my day.
To be honest, the truth is I'm filling a bit on auto pilot with my life now. I'm not living the day, but living the motions that make up my day. Just one day at a time. Over and over. Without really living. I feel stuck. I'm hoping this documentation might help me reflect some. More than pictures, I want to capture the stories.
But as I started out, I soon forgot. My pictures and words are limited. My thought is to post here, then compile an album next week. I can only hope.
