How do you measure a year? - My 365, day one -

I've been wanting to do a '365 project' for some time now.  You can find them all over the blog world... documenting a year in photos, one a day.

In thinking about starting this project, two things always come to mind. The first is the question of when to start.  That is always the hardest part it seems.  When do you start and how do you start?  The other is the 'Seasons of Love' song from Rent.  I love that song.  This project makes me think of that song.

-----
'Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear...
How do you measure a year?

in daylights, in sunsets
in midnights, in cups of coffee
in inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
in five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure a year in the life?

In truths that she learned
or in times that he cried
in bridges he burned
or the way that she died

It's time now, to sing out
though the story never ends
let's celebrate
remember a year in the life of friends'

I want to do this project and think about the year of my life that I am documenting.  The good and the bad, the days as they turn into weeks, and the individual moments that you can get lost in.  

And so I'm starting my 365.  Day one has come and gone...

Day one was Sunday, October 16, 2011.

And while this may not be the most exciting picture to start with, this is my day one.  This is something that inspires me.  And we could all use a little inspiration in this life!
