57. Self Portrait

Took a self portrait today. Though I may get a little carried away sometimes with taking picture and snapchats with my iPhone, I happen to think pictures are crucial. It's so important to take pictures of yourself and your loved ones. Life flies by and we are changing and growing both mentally and physically every single day. I think it's important to capture how we look at these different times in life. I love how photos can capture special moments and say so much. As a wise man or woman once said, "a picture is worth a thousand words." What a smart person - they couldn't have been more accurate! I'm going to encourage myself and everyone around to take more photos. We all want to have memories to look back on. There are too many times where I've heard my mom say she wishes she took more photos. We often don't even have a good enough Christmas card to send out because she lacks photos of us as a family. It's an easy fix but we've got to get into the groove of it! I feel like everyone in the 60's and older generations used to take so many photos and videos... I'm confused because we couldn't have cameras and film for accessible today....! No more excuses to having no photos, mom!
