Already quite new to The Gallery, this week also makes me a newbie to The Writing Workshop. A tough but enjoyable challenge, especially given the theme – Emotions. In the end I chose the emotion we often discuss with disbelief at how much has been brought into our life this past year. Even when a day has felt hard you can guarantee we have smiled and laughed more than we could have ever imagined before.
The star of the show is as almost always of course Baby V. I searched through our archives of photos and narrowed it down to about a dozen. I was trying to decide how to present them and this one stood out. Baby V turning the camera on me! Obviously fed up of being always the subject she grabbed the camera from me and this was the result, not bad for a first attempt! Baby V has summed up best the emotion I was trying to explain with the words.
Joy
She finds it in the simplest things
Seeing her toys when she wakes in the morning
Finding a forgotten snack in her changing bag
Recognising the trees as we drive up her grandparents drive
Playing, dancing, laughing
We all find it in her
She brings it to us in bucketfuls
She gives it to us everyday
Even the strangers she greets with her smile
Pure, simple, unadulterated
This is just lovely :D Gorgeous photo, such a big beautiful smile :) Jen
