Theme Song

I once read of a girl who starts her day off at work with a theme song. She described it like the entrance song to a wedding reception where the bride and groom enter in all their glory to start the celebration. (P.S. I hear a lot of these songs and by far the most interesting and truthful one was 'It's the end of the World as we know it' by REM.) I gave it a shot today by listening to Heavenly Day by Patty Griffin. Have you heard this song? It's awesome and soothing and truthful, as I wish everything was. As I am driving on 670W and singing at the top of my lungs as though I am in concert, it brought to mind a photograph that Chris (my husband … just in case we haven't met yet, I'm Tricia Keels.) took on a retreat. I love this photograph because it has so much potential for reading into it. So I am picturing the photo and singing at the top of my lungs (wishing I had my cowgirl hat on) and at the end of the song I realize heavenly days come in all shapes and sizes. As the fog lifts and the sun comes out, will I run to the end of the dock and jump off into the unknown temperature of the water or will I walk to the end and just dangle my feet in for awhile (while reading a book with my cowgirl hat on). Either way, the song can apply. Every day has the potential for heavenly moments. I truly believe this and it is most of the reason I get up.



I suspect this theme song will be replaced by another when the mood strikes. But this is it for now. So download the song, sit back and listen and take in this photograph.



And then let me know. what is your theme song right now? I will try to match one of our photos with it.

thanks for reading.

"The day is here"

Lydia and Michael's wedding was the last of 2008
and what a great one to end on. Lydia's loving spirit
and smile you could see form space permeated every moment
and Michael's kindness and contagious peace warmed everyone.
Together they are like lock and key, meant for each other.
They truly shared every moment from spontaneous, bagpipe inspired
dancing to enduring the cold and indulging this photographer's request for
"just one more, ok may be two more shots"
thank you so much Lydia and Michael,

God Bless

We had only met Brittny and Sean
the day before their wedding but it wasn't long before we could see that though continents originally
separated them, he in Ireland and she here in the states, that their love was meant to be. With Indiana's Notre Dame
as the backdrop of this amazing day and we watched as families of two countries celebrated, laughed and cried,
connected by the love of these two wonderful people.
Thank you Brittny and Sean for all your hospitality and the story you shared.
God Bless you both.
