Starting September 27, 2008: one photo per day accompanied by prevailing thoughts, moods, or feelings on that day.

August 10, SFO Long Term Parking: Man, I was glad to get home today. As soon as I stepped outside, I felt a little better, and took some pictures before I even got into my car. Of course, I am still thinking about the weekend. Ive hesitated to write much about my family. In particular my sister. It doesn’t seem very fair. But I felt like I needed to do it yesterday. I was thinking more about why I had some of the reactions that I did. Part of what I think I am realizing is that I have felt judged in the past because of the rocky relationship I have with my family. I don’t think anyone has ever tried to hurt my feelings or launch a deliberate attack…but I do think that I took offense. Maybe that’s guilt, maybe its shame, maybe its both. I am really appreciative of the people who reached out and let me know that I'm not the only one who struggles with this.
