tales from a small room

[image via: before+after project]

where 2008 was slightly chaotic and hurried, my goal for 2009 is to slow things down. i look back to the past year and am left with the feeling that i was always running to catch up.

i’m determined that this year will be about simplifying our little life. about filtering what’s important and what’s not so important and enjoying the process a lot more. reminding myself that it’s not about being perfect, but about being. actually living and not waiting for ‘real life’ to begin after this or that is finished. after all, it’s about the ride, right? not the destination.

[the picture above is from jen and nicole's 'before+after' project which sadly is finished. go check out their archives for some beautiful tabletop still life photographs. i still find myself going back to their project when i'm in need of some inspiration.]
