(Day 42 of 100: acrylic paint & ink on cardstock)
We--me, my husband, my (now divorced) parents, my two brothers, and my sister-in-law--are heading to Wyoming to camp out for the night, as a late brithday party for one of my brothers. Even if it goes horribly awry (there IS rain in the forecast), we'll have a great story to remember, right? This will be the longest period of time we've all been together in years.

"Remember the high board at the swimming pool? After days of looking up at it you finally climbed the wet steps to the platform. From there, it was higher than ever. There were only two ways down: the steps to defeat or the dive to victory. You stood on the edge, shivering in the hot sun, deathly afraid. At last you leaned too far forward, it was too late for retreat, and you dived. The high board was conquered, and you spend the rest of the day diving. Climbing a thousand high boards, we demolish fear and turn into human beings." ~Richard Bach, "A Gift of Wings"
Wishing you all adventure and a fearless spirit today.

Enjoy your campout..Glad you remembered the S'mores....
Have a blast, Amanda.
I hope you had a rain free campout and a fabulous time all together! I think once your 100 is over, you should start back at the beginning. I wonder if anything would change after 100 days??
Baroness: I did! Camping just isn't worth it if you can't indulge in s'mores... :)
sully: thank you. It was fantastic.
Alicia: What an interesting idea! I'm fairly certain I'll continue the project after the 100 days, but it hadn't occurred to me to re-start the numbering process. There is something magic (and also oddly comforting) about working toward that goal, each day getting closer and closer to...something. :) Thank you for the suggestion.
