I have been loving taking part in the twitter365 photo project. The aim is to take a photo that someone depicts oneself every day for a year.
When I started I didn’t know how long I would last. There have been a couple of days when I have just taken a photo with minutes to spare and there are several photos that were taken for the sake of having a photo taken.
They say a picture tells a thousand words and that can be the case. When I look through all my twitter365 photos I can remember the day and what happened or how I was feeling. It is like a visual diary. But it is also more than that. I has developed my sense of self. I have usually hated having my photo taken. I still look at some of my photos and all I see are my tuck-shop arms or multiple chins. And there have been some I have refused to put up!
But today I was quite daring! It is MIML™s birthday. And apart from the fact that we have reached that stage in our relationship where we can give a leaf blower/vac/mulcher (that can be used as a rocket apparently!) and a kettle that determines the correct water temperature for the kind of tea you are wanting to brew, I wrapped myself up for him! In 5 metres of red organza! And I allowed a photo to be taken. And I put it up online, with some of my skin showing!
And I love the photo! MIML™ has it as his desktop pic! It made both of us giggle. And it made me realise that as I have been told so many times before, sexy is a state of mind and when two people care for each other the way MIML™ and I do it can be the small presents or unexpected ones that cause some mirth!
Happy Birthday gorgeous Man in My Life™! <3!

GORGEOUSNESS.
You look awesome.
I also hate having my picture taken … but then I realised that I was missing from much of the family album and that this isn’t fair to my husband or my kids. Now I’m *in* photos and will even look at the camera when pointed in my direction.
