Ted Talk- Steven Addis

http://www.ted.com/talks/steven_addis_a_father_daughter_bond_one_photo_at_a_time.html


Steven Addis talks of a random picture that was taken of him and his daughter on her first birthday by his wife in New York. A year later they all happened to be in the same place and another photograph was taken on his daughters second birthday in the exact same spot. As his daughters third birthday approached his wife suggested that he take their daughter again, hence this yearly ritual began!

 A father and daughter having precious time together; simple and perhaps obvious but so overlooked and took for granted in todays society. The small things in life are the most important.Making, sharing and building memories. 

Steven describes how their yearly event is very much anticipated and cheerished and how gradually it has changed their lives and relationship of father and daughter.Just lovely!
Get out there! Get in the shot! Create memories!

This TED talk spoke volumes to me when I came across it.Steven Addis gets his point over to the audience so clearly and simply.Very thought provoking. Made me cry! (it does'nt take much!!)

Christmas come down!

Well, Christmas has come and gone so fast!!!
 
Had a lovely day with my family and yes, Santa came and brought EVERYTHING on my girls list!
(which was very hard this year due to student funds running low!)
My husbands and my list must have got lost in the post though!
He also brought a special birthday present for my eldest daughter as she was 7 on Christmas day!
Looking forward to the new year now, more family staying down, more food, drink, late nights, lazy mornings in pj's! lovely!

Happy 2013!!!

Assignment complete!

Assignment completed!!
 
The last few weeks have been an 'experience' to say the least!
 
Finding the odd few hours to sit down to my assignment has mostly been late at night till early hours with my head full of so much information it's hard to sleep!
 
 
 
But it's done!
finished!
 
Handing it in tomorrow and looking forward to the weekend! As much as i've enjoyed the assignment i feel its taken over my mind!!
I now know how to save my work on a memory stick!, print my work, change font, size, colour,copy and paste all without help! Not bad for a 38 year old! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!
 
Break up next week then my one and only Christmas night out with my lovely new uni friends in Swansea!!!
(Last time I was out in Swansea the place to be was Jumping Jacks!!??!!)
You never know, I might be 'tagged' on Facebook!!
