I couldn't resist sending that photo of Sophia to my coffee group (coworkers) today. One person wrote back, "Looking at that made me forget about all the kicking & screaming. Nice one." I replied, "Thanks. It's hard to imagine sometimes, but these good moments do make up for the bad ones--and then some." and I thought that was worth repeating here because it's so true. Of course I wish I would see Sophia's bright, smiling, happy face more often and her angry face less often (much less often), but I sure appreciate the good times! Perhaps that's why I felt compelled to take a picture of her yesterday. And that leads me to another coworker's comment, "Sometimes those candid shots are the best ones." I couldn't agree more, which is why I keep my camera in my purse. I love my little digital Elph.

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
