This is my second day in my challenge to take a photo everyday of 2010 (only 363 more to go!) I do not intend on posting them all here, but they are in a set on flickr.

Yesterday I saw my first rainbow of the year though by the time I grabbed my camera, it was already fading. Either way it seemed to carry a unique kind of blessing with it; I cannot think of a more beautiful herald for the new year then a rainbow.

As I said the other day, I don’t do resolutions but rather like the idea I have seen floating around the blogosphere of picking a word to be my inspiration or mantra for the year (or until I feel I have developed some mastery of its concepts.) 2010 will be my year to simplify my life. A home with young children can be chaotic and I need to find ways to find the eye of the storm. To live simply and in the moment.

And what could be a more simple joy then watching Damian play with one of my best friends on New Years day?
