I take a lot of pictures anyway, so this isn’t much of a resolution, to be honest. But I like the idea of this, to think about why I am taking the picture and what I love about it.
This morning, heading back to work after a nice, long break, I took this picture:

My husband knows I loves purses and bags (almost as much as I love shoes), and so even though I told him I didn’t need or want anything fancy for Christmas, he got me this tote bag for carrying my work things, and the matching purse. I adore leopard print, so I couldn’t bring myself to fuss at him for spending the money when I love them so much! If I absolutely had to come back to work today, at least carrying my new bags made it a wee bit easier.
I am actually not terribly interested in designer names or brands, but I know it made my husband happy and proud to be able to treat me to this bag and purse. He smiled and was so proud that they match each other, and he even pointed that out to me, which was sweet. Add in the jewelry he also got me for me, and I felt very spoiled and indulged and beyond lucky.
The Christmas tree is now down, all the lights and sparkle and red-and-green have been packed away, and the alarm clock was back in business this morning. My husband texted me around lunch time and told me that I better not risk overdoing it today, and I should come home immediately. I like the way he thinks!
