WordPress Photo Challenge: “Possibility. Opportunity. Potential. As another year gets underway, let’s celebrate the new.”
“It’s the first photo challenge of 2015, and the theme is ‘new.’ Cliché? Perhaps, but clichés develop for a reason. For many of us, the year’s beginning is time to take stock of the past and plan for the future; this week, let’s get excited about those plans by celebrating what’s new.”
I know, I know…another cliche`, but sometimes cliches` are “Just what the doctor ordered.” (Discerning in advance much eye-rolling here from post readers.) Yes, I’m going to say it…one of my goals is “Reaching for the moon this year” (More eye-rolling and cheesy grin too!)
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”
Why let your heart be earthbound my friends? Reach for the heavens, open your heart to the Father of Creation. Raise your arms to the sky and let your first goal be praising the Lord every day. Hallelujah!
“Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens.”
Lamentations 3:41
I like the light coming from behind the tree.. New Year, year of light and illumination…

Thanks…it is a beautiful spot. On the same piece of land is an old lighthouse overlooking a wide expanse of the Chesapeake Bay.

In Amway they used to say shoot for the stars, and if you don’t make it at least you might reach the top of the lamppost!
To achieve anything we need to switch our mind into gear, and start believing. I find it desperately disappointing that so many never aspire, or plan for success, but prefer to live in the Slough of Despond.
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark 9:24

Hi Ady, it is a normal photograph, tweaked up with a site called Pic Monkey. http://www.picmonkey.com
If you visit this site and upload one of your photos you can use the toolbar on the side to create new looks for your photographs. When this was taken it was a brilliantly sunny day. Using the overlay gives the photograph a new look.
