Sift through all the photos of you from the past year. Choose one that best captures you; either who you are, or who you strive to be. Find the shot of you that is worth a thousand words. Share the image, who shot it, where, and what it best reveals about you.

First of all, it was easy to look through the photos of me because there are so few. I don't generally like to get my picture taken. If it is taken, it's usually not a candid shot. Those almost always get deleted. =( I know, that's terrible. BUT hey, that is one thing I want to change for next year. I want to be in the moment and not care if a photograph is being taken.
I went ahead and chose this picture, because this is who I am - crazy lady...no, not really. I love my kids and I love to have fun. The best times I have with my family are when we are laughing and being silly. I love that we can be that way.
However, it is not always easy for me to be this way with them all the time. I can tend to be a little...well,... uptight. There. I said it. I know that I can be extremely hard on them and that sometimes, instead of enjoying the moment, I can kill it by trying to get things "perfect".
I don't want to be that way with my family. I don't want to ruin special days and events because I am so stressed about the house being cleaned perfectly or the food being just right...those are important, but they are not more important than the people that I am doing it for in the first place.
I'm striving to be a less-stressed, more impressed mommy for 2011. Good idea, no?
LOVE your pic choice, Sherry! Like you, I didn't have to look far but I have to say you are very good about getting into the photo. Here's to LESS STRESS in 2011 :)
