A Daughter, her Dad, and Discipline
My life changed forever on March 19, 2009. Our daughter, Lily Grace Turner, was born at 6:45 a.m. that morning. She was the first (and still is) the only grandchild on either side of Dorothy’s and my families. Without a doubt, she’s my favorite photography subject. Yup, I picked a favorite. Deal.
Now to completely change the subject (I promise it will all make sense), I should tell you about my habits. Throughout my school career, I was what most people would call a procrastinator. Personally, I considered myself very productive when it counted most. And it usually counted most at the last minute. I always struggled (and still do sometimes) with disciplining myself and strategically setting time aside to do a little at a time of whatever it was I had to do. Anyone else reading this know what I mean? I bet a couple of you do.
Being self-employed, a father, and of course, a husband to my wonderful wife, means that time-management and discipline are that much more important. To this end, I’ve created a challenge for myself. In celebration of Lily turning 1 later this month (ugh…already!!!), I will take at least one photo of her every day for the month of March and post it to my Facebook page. I will blog once a week with all the photos of the prior week, so in case you don’t use Facebook, you can still join in the fun.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and be sure to send me an email if you don’t see them going up regularly!!
Talking to myself…now it’s only 9:05 p.m., which means I really have almost three more hours to post this blog. Atari time??!!
Never mind. Here’s Day 1…almost three hours early!
