Pretty blue eyes

Pretty blue eyes, originally uploaded by jmcouraud.

I just realized when I uploaded this, and a couple of other photos, that I haven't uploaded in almost an entire month. Now, what's up with that? I could enumerate all the excuses but what good would that do. It's just, as with the rest of the world, I was too busy. Days quickly turn into weeks and just as quickly turn into months. And so many things I've been meaning to do are still piling up the to-do list.
This passage of time is even more evident when I think about the fact that this sweet little baby (or should I now say girl?) is turning one in a week. Last time this year, we had settled in to the "big wait." Grammy and Bompie were finishing up her room. I was having false labor and everyday seemed like the longest in history! Funny how that is, really. We are never satisfied with the speed at which things are moving. Last year too slow, this year too fast.
It all reminds me that this year, instead of a New Year's resolution, I chose a word to remind of what I want and need. I chose "FOCUS". I want to keep focus when I so easily get distracted, I want to focus on what's important, I want focus on who's important. Just focus.
So picking up my camera this afternoon, that's just what I did. After running around most of the day, I slowed us down for a bit. Put on some music and focused on just Claire.
Focus.
