Today's journal prompt asked us to think about the dreams we have, both big and small. To put them to paper and to start outlining the steps we can begin taking to achieve them. This is an exercise I'm choosing to save for the weekend and to keep private, instead I focussed on the photo prompt - smooth.
I wish I could say I had a ton of ideas for this one - but the truth is I had nothing - except for an extra hour this evening after work. Most of my photos have been taken either at home, while at my parent's house or at work. I've never gone out into the Lexington area to see what I could find so I decided to give that a try tonight. I found myself at a park a mile up the street that surrounds a large lake - thinking that water could be smooth.
Thanks to a breeze, the lake wasn't exactly smooth, but I still got a couple of photos that I like. My smooth photo came as I was leaving. As I was getting in the car, I noticed how the sky was reflected in the smooth paint of the hood, so I snapped a couple of photos. Before Bootcamp I never would have tried taking a picture of a car hood - I love that I'm trying new things and seeing the world in different ways. Even as I drove home I was in awe of the beauty of the powerlines - so black and symmetrical against the sky. I love that I'm seeing the world in a different way.
The past few days prompts have made picking songs ridiculously easy. What goes better with smooth than the Sade classic "Smooth Operator." A song that never feels old.
