257/365: "Follow your heart and make it your decision." ~ Mia Hamm
We went over to our friend's house for the afternoon today and I brought my camera along to take pictures. I wandered around taking pictures for quite a while and had a thoroughly good time. I ended up coming home with 280 pictures, many of which were garbage of course, but I ended up taking maybe 2 dozen that I think turned out quite nicely.
The problem with taking zillions of pictures is that you have to spend the time looking through them all, tossing the garbage and whittling down the number to just the best ones. When I distill a large number of pictures, I end up having a big argument with myself as to which pictures I should process. In the end, I must follow my heart because I can't work on all of the pictures that make the final cut!
Today was especially hard. I am crazy about the picture that follows this one..it's strange and weird and wonderful! But the picture you see here...it makes my heart sing. There's something I find very special about it, so I followed my heart and made it my Picture of the Day. I would love to know what you think...I have 4 pictures to share today, do you have a favorite? How do you resolve YOUR conflicts with choosing pictures?
Mariel Margaret "Mia" Hamm (born March 17, 1972) is a retired American professional soccer player. Hamm played many years as a forward for the United States women's national soccer team and was a founding member of the Washington Freedom. Hamm held the record for international goals, more than any other player, male or female, in the history of soccer, until 2013 when fellow American Abby Wambach scored her 159th goal to break the record. Hamm is also the third most capped female player in soccer history behind Kristine Lilly and Christie Rampone, appearing in 275 international matches. She also leads the team with most assists with 144. She is the author of Go For the Goal: A Champion's Guide to Winning in Soccer and Life and appeared in the HBO documentary Dare to Dream: The Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team.Washington Post columnist Michael Wilbon called Hamm, "Perhaps the most important athlete of the last 15 years."

That said.. i also understand the attraction of the pic of the day.
Kiwi's have a smoother skin...
To resolve. One always "speaks louder". It may not even be the "best one" but its the one that YOU want. That is wat counts.. Always go with that gut instinct. I have found that the times in my life that I have gone against it... its been a mistake.
