Worth a Thousand Words

by Susan


 At first I was going to just title this post, 'No Title' and then realized after writing the post... I did indeed have a title. After sitting at this computer for the past several hours going through tens of hundreds of photos, all from our FOL Galveston trip, I was at a loss as what to 'focus on' for my post.  My brain seriously felt... fuzzy... like I'm still trying to process everything from last weeks gathering... too quickly.  Does that make sense?  Have you ever had that moment when you have soooo much to talk about that you just don't know where to begin? That's where I am... 

 
We've all heard the saying 'a photograph is worth a thousand words' right?  I was finding it difficult to find the words to express my gratitude (and it is beyond great) for this past gathering... so I'm going to let my photographs help me out here and speak for themselves.

Carol and Kelly - ready to go! And yes, we did travel like this... well... once. :)

Kelly and Leigh... one, two three JUMP! Not bad at 7:00am in the morning!

To my FOL sisters... thank you, thank you for all the inspiration, laughs, tears, hugs, early morning rises and late night talks... and on and on.  I love you all and will always remember our time together!  ~ xo's

These photos are indeed worth a thousand words. There are no words to describe the beauty we saw or the beauty and love that permeated our time together. It was indeed magic ... but yet it was very real. Each person there felt the freedom to be herself and so these ten divergent personalities blended into one open, loving group. Thank you, Susan, for sharing our get together through your lens and heart.

These photos definitely speak volumes and it is so much fun to see our time together through everyone's different lenses. Love how each photo brings back the times we shared. I didn't see you take the jump shot so that was a fun surprise! I agree with Dotti, the freedom to be ourselves is priceless. I'm still basking in the glow of it all but I certainly understand your "fuzzy" feelings. We've called it "reentry" in the past, getting back to the day to day of our lives, and sometimes it takes awhile. But we have so many sweet memories to hold in our hearts and the knowledge that we will all be together again before too long.

Hmm, I'm not quite sure whether the "system" saved my comment… I'm having computer issues today… So, I'll try again… ;-) This is so wonderful and it was such a pleasure to follow your trip on Instagram!
