This week's prompt is 'The Possibilities Are Endless...'
I was especially struck by Sally's final thought,
This week pay attention to your surroundings and your daily activities and show us what holds endless possibilities for you.
My first thought was my newly cleared desk (you can see it in Wednesday's post below), but it is just too busy a photo...
I'm realized, working through Sally's photo challenge week by week, the power of a really focussed image...
I'm not a photographer, and our lil digi-camera is pretty rubbish... but I'm learning if I just zoom in a little, have a play in Picasa, I can create quite a strong image full of meaning...
So I give you this...
It's a personalized stamp I bought the other week to stamp the back of any cards I make.
But it may not be a card I make today. It may be a painting... a drawing... a journal page... an ATC... a postcard... a scrapbook page... endless possibilities, you see :)
The real power for me in this image is that I may have lost the use of my right side in the stroke (almost 6 years ago now), but I still have my left side, and it's getting more and more dexterous, the more skills I learn to do left-handed...
I may only have half a fully functioning body (and to fair, the possibilities are curtailed to what can be done one-handed), but I can still make things some things, and I am proud to stamp them to prove it :)
