I hadn't even noticed the contrast in these two until you pointed it out! Good eye! Thank you so much!

Thank you for letting me know you were encouraged by this, Rachel!

Thank you, Emily!

Glad you enjoyed your time here!!

C. S. Lewis talked about inattention being an obstacle to joy--true in relationships for sure! Thanks for being here, Dea!

This is something we know well in the blogosphere, but sometimes forget in the face to face. Thank you, Tara!!

We LOVE Sausalito too! And I know what you mean about affording San Francisco food--not for the faint of heart or light of wallet, but SOOOOO amazing!! San Francisco really is a fabulous place to visit, but I know myself well enough to know I would never choose to live there. Pretty fun living close enough to be there in half an hour though!!

There is just nothing like being so well known by our Father and so thoroughly loved even with all He knows!! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I always wish I had the courage (or whatever it is) to do street photography, which I love. I just feel like it's an intrusion or something I shouldn't do without express permission or without carrying a stack of model releases with me. In some of the places I went last week, it would have been foolish to take the chance! So glad my words conveyed a little of what I saw and the stories they represented!

Thank you Brian! I find that sometimes it takes a trip out of my usual places to remind me to notice a little more. San Francisco just has a a way of FORCING you to notice! =)
