30 days :: 27

A person is a success if they get up in the morning and gets to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Oh, how could you not love it. The suspenders!

[Maire Stafford]

Wonderfully reasuring words for a slightly anxious autonomous educator.

[Gina]

Gotta love Dylan. I have really enjoyed your photos. They embody the comforts of home and everyday life, the way it should be. Thanks.

[brandie]

[Nancy]

[erin lang norris/yellow canoe]

I'll never forget my suspenders...this photo is perfect.

[jean]

true that.

[Sara]

Happy picture taking!

[Amanda Wright]

Fabulous quote! And the outfit is just awesome.

[Rachel]

I need to remember that quote! It seems like it should be easy to do, but what an accomplishment!

[AmyDe]

Cool! Comfortable in his own skin. We should all be so blessed!

[carole davis]

absolutely..Freedom is so precious to be able to blossom...
creativity also can be another way to free one's soul..

[Ansley]

Oh Soulemama, I absolutely love this one....adorable.
Very imaginative!

[coastalgirl]

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.
--Bob Dylan

i always have the feeling, about your children - from all that i read here - that they live just like that bob dylan quote says. how lucky - for them, and for the world around them.

[Kim]

Lovely

[elizabooth]

I think this is my favourite one so far.

[Jessica Keith]

Great shot and great quote. We're lucky to get to live that way most of the time. :)

[jessica]

best quotation EVER!!!

[Snippety Gibbet]

I feel like that many days.

[gonzomama]

definitely something that should be taught from an early age. totally fitting with the photo- one of many favorites.

[Carrie]

You have always been a great photographer-but I can see you're getting even better all the time. I can see your 30 days pictures in a gallery!

[maya]

Love it - photo and quote.

[Elizabeth Mackey]

Hi, I stumbled across your blog via Tree Fall. What a beautiful family you have and gorgeous home!! I have yet another blog to be addicted to. I look forward to reading all the archive posts when I get a chance.

[ileana]

Love the photo, and the quote too.

[kristin]

Thank you for this photo and this quote as I clutch my resignation letter tightly, too nervous to hand it over yet this morning. Time to do what I love "in between". This gives me the confidence to turn it in.

[natasha s]

Now this shot is up there with my other fave favorite of yours,the one of Ezra in the corner with the kerchief and ,was it,a tennis racket?love it

[jo]

i love this quote.
It is my signature on emails.

[Ula]

I love the quote. I'm trying to get there! Have a great day, thanks for sharing these lovely pics.

[Elizabeth]

lovely photo! and may i respectfully disagree with the quote? i have a few loved ones who don't get to do what they want to do all day, but i consider them a success anyway because they are providing for their families.

[Amber]

I totally agree! Sometimes this is a feat in itself.

[SOULEMAMA]

Elizabeth -

I would argue, then, that they ARE doing precisely what they 'want' with their days. A success, yes!

I love how you are not afraid to do things like not photograph heads. It makes your pictures so much more intriguing!

[Diane]

Ahh, it could be the unofficial unschoolers anthem!

[Anna]

Amen. And to the quote directly above mine. (Diane's) AMEN!

[Amy]

You can always count on Mr. Zimmerman to offer such a gem of a statement. I'll have to remember that one.

[Madeline]

One of my favorite poets. This may be my favorite one, of your days.

[Greta]

Great photo! The quote sounds so casual when you first read it, but when you think about it for while ... especially the getting up and going to bed bit! Me, not always successful there...

[Lisa Z]

I'm going to hold fast to this quote as I just decided (and informed the teachers) to pull my kids out of school and home school them, starting next week!

A bit of anxiety, a bit of fear, but mostly I'm experiencing elation at choosing to do what we want most to do! Wish us luck!

[Megan]

I have been enjoying your blog and your photos for a while now. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas! I've shared your blog as a link on mine.

[Danette]

That's a fabulous quote, and the pic is great too. Those little feet sticking out from his jeans, with his big boy oxford and bells on his suspenders. Simply great.

[lina]

what a fabulous quote!

[blessingmama]

So true. I am learning to embrace my own "in between" time.

[thevintagemagpie]

I love that quote. Thank you x

[Jessica]

After reading this quote yesterday morning, I thought about it all day. I'm very lucky to do what I love all day long (even the tough days), even though it means a tiny paycheck. Thanks for putting that quote up.

[Sarah]

Fab quote and an as ever fab photo - thank you!

[Audra Marie]

I love this shot and the quote is perfect.:)
