I know what you're thinking right...what in the world? This isn't a self portrait. She's not even in the photo.
And so we disagree.
It is said that your eyes are the window to your soul. I couldn't agree more. I feel our eyes do reflect the person that we are, but also those we love and choose to go through life with. I believe in any close relationship when your thoughts are on the other and your need for love and understanding is great, it's hard not to become apart of each other, changing and forming into one purpose in heart and mind.
This man in my photo is one of the greatest gifts of my life. Each day I choose to focus on what we have I realize how much I am focusing on what I want and what is most important to me (us). Not to sound cheesy, but he is my best friend and the one I choose to spend my time with. How could I not. He loves me and only wants for our happiness. As you know marriage isn't always bliss and in those difficult moments how grateful I am that he fights for us, especially in those times when I am weary.
So if you look closely at the photo of him (click to enlarge). You will see me. Quite literally. I am there reflected in his eyes and pray as we go through life it will always be that way.PS I also wanted to mention my friend Tiffanie has started a blog. I'm really excited for her to get involved because it has certainly changed my life and I'm certain it will do the same for her. Check it out she's also doing spt.

Beautiful Amy. You have obviously grown into a spiritual giant. I love to read your words about your husband. They are not cheesy at all, and the moment his picture popped up I thought, "There she is...in his eyes!"...it was a self-portrait, my most favorite kind. These photographs are not only beautiful, but they reflect the love that you share with your dear husband. Thank you for this today...it is something that I need to put a little more effort into.
That is seriously very cool. You and him are definitely the perfect match. I love that you both are artists in your own ways. Beautiful post Amy.
