I was recently challenged on Facebook to post for seven days a black and white photo about my life. The rules were; no people and no explanation. I accepted of course. It was fun, but it was also enlightening.
So often when we are dealing with the loss of a partner we dwell on what has changed in our lives. Our major focus can easily become consumed by negative side of loss or grief. Certainly a lot has changed. But, equally a lot hasn't. So for me, publishing a photo about my life for seven days sheeted home to me that life goes on. The routine of living is still the same. And, perhaps looking at life through a black and white still highlights that. I have added one more to my list of black and white photos.

Focus on living
Take time to enjoy the simple things, even if it is just sitting in the garden with a good book and a mug of coffee. Life is still worth living, despite what we have lost. It is the simple things that will start to bring colour back into our lives.
