Day Twenty-Four: Post a picture of something you wish you could change
I want to change the world! What do you think, is it possible?
Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. ~Isaiah 64:8 (NIV)

Day Twenty-Three: Post a picture of your favorite book
As far as reading works of fiction, I think that my favorite has almost always been The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I have the complete works, all bound together in a 3" thick book. I find the time period, style, imagination, and the attention to detail fascinating. Makes me want a hot mug of earl grey tea, and a rainy day with which to start re-reading all these adventures.

30 Day Photo Challenge -Day Twenty-Two
Day Twenty-Two: Post a picture of something you wish you were better at.
There are a lot of things I wish I was better at. I wish I could be better at making friends, better at just being myself, be a better writer, better photographer, a better singer...I could go on. I decided that I wish I could be better at making my voice be heard. I have a lot to say sometimes, but am too shy to try to be loud. I want to help, but feel too timid to offer, want to be a friend, but don't know how to ask. Sometimes I know the answer, but don't want to offend by offering it unasked. So this is me making myself heard: Is there anyway I can be a better friend to you today? Anything I can help you with? Is there anything you are struggling with that I might know the answer to?

Day Twenty-One: Post a picture of something you wish you could forget
I almost wanted to be more serious about this post, but really, who would want to post a post a picture of something they really truly wished to forget? Much less post it on the internet for anyone to see and read about. Then I was going to go with something slightly less serious: a picture of something I regret but didn't necessarily want to forget. But I ended up with this. I wish I could forget ever having eaten an octopus!! It didn't have much flavor, but it was rubbery as all get out! The idea that I actually ate that little thing still makes me shudder...

30 Day Photo Challenge -Day Twenty
Day Twenty: Post a picture of somewhere you'd love to travel
Not for the reasons you may assume. I'm not big into nightclubs or gambling, I've actually had no experience with either. Alex has a grandma and some aunts who live in Las Vegas. We've never met, and they haven't seen Alex in a few years. They seem very sweet and I'm hoping for a chance to meet them in the next few years. I will admit though, the idea of visiting somewhere so well known is also very exciting!

30 Day Photo Challenge -Day Nineteen
Day Nineteen: Post a picture and a letter
Well, here was another one that I wasn't quite sure what they meant I was supposed to post a picture of. So, here is a picture of a drawing that my baby sister sent me, and a letter from my other little sister, as well as the reply that I am working on. I still think it's really exciting to get mail addressed to me, to open the letter and read everything written specifically for me to read! It usually takes me a few weeks to reply, so I should probably go work on that...aren't letters magnificent? Hehe

30 Day Photo Challenge -Day Eighteen
Day Eighteen: Post a picture of your biggest insecurity
I am my biggest insecurity. I end up being afraid to be myself around other people, I don't say what I think, I don't really say much at all. I sit back and observe because - though I want to be friends with people, and I want them to be my friend - I feel like I already know that they won't like me, and I feel that it's better to never find that out for sure than to have myself proven right. I also am my harshest critic. I expect more from me than I give, I expect me to be better than I am.
