Snapshots from a Sunday

Like I explained in my previous post, today is "Snapshots from a Sunday", where a wonderful group of bloggers agreed to share a tiny glimpse into what their life looked like today.  Looking at the finished product, I'm so excited to share it with you.

Have you ever been driving around in your car, or standing in a crowd of some sort, and suddenly  been struck by the obvious but unbearable thought that every single person around you has their own complete life?  That this moment of intersection is fleeting, and they're leading lives as big as yours that you'll probably never know anything about?  Do you ever get overwhelmed by the thought of how many unknown lives there are on this planet?

I do, anyway.  And I think that's why I love this project so much.  It provides a point of reference, some common ground for me to rest on in the middle of all these lives.  I love how each picture is so unique, so different, yet there's elements of the familiar and shared in them all.

I'd like to thank everyone who participated once again, and urge everyone to check out each photographer's blog, which you can get to by clicking on the name of their blog listed under their picture.

This pic represents not only how I spend my post-Mass Sunday afternoons (reading the paper and vegging out) but the model on the front of the newspaper's magazine section is a very close representation of how I feel about my physical appearance after 8 weeks of moderate bed rest.  Feel free to laugh; I would if my ribs weren't bruised from all the vomiting.
