Focusing on Life - Week 1 - A Pondering Woman

Week 1 - Self-Portrait
That's me.  The pondering woman.
I'm thinking of all the things I'd like to do this year and how I wish I had the energy to do them. 
I'm thinking about how I want new glasses.
I'm thinking that I should wear eyeshadow more often.
I'm thinking that the skin on my nose is really dry and it's a mystery.
I'm thinking my haircut is cute and I'm relieved because I had to try a new stylist because mine moved.
I'm thinking I should get my eyebrows waxed more often.
I'm thinking I should get some bigger diamonds for my ears.
I'm thinking about being less frustrated by my job.
I'm thinking about going to the gym.
I'm thinking about the next 51 weeks and the photo journey I'm on.
I'm thinking that I compare my life to others' too often.
I'm thinking I'll get another beer (lite, of course) and go play.

  2. What a darling photo!!! I love your new cut. You look at ease in this photo despite all the things going through your head. And I think we all do too much in the way of comparing ourselves to others, but I think it's our nature.

  7. This is the quintessential Jenn if you ask me, perfect shot! As for comparing your life to others too often, I know just what you mean. When i read the last post by Cindy W. on the poster she had, #5 spoke to me "avoid getting trapped in someone elses story. Be the author of your own life" I really liked that. Glad you are doing this journey!

  15. I can see your mind working! Perfect. I tried to take a "hmm" shot of myself but it just looked fake. The other day I caught sight of my 2 year old tapping her index finger on her lip, saying hmm, considering some crayons aor stickers. Too funny she is becoming quite the unintended mirror
