Photography or a single image I feel often captures those treasured moments in ones life, there is nothing quite like looking back and reflecting good or bad. But I also find that just like the act of writing our collective pictures can also be a art-form. The beauty and meaning of a photo can be expressed and shared in many ways including not even using a single word but instead just seeing what it makes you feel.

While I do enjoy photography I used to share those "everyday" type images that captures just those typical day to day activities, the feedback was mostly positive and so I continued sharing these "Ulog type" photos on Steemit.

Almost every picture as a story to tell right? Or at least that is what I was often been told by some of my followers when I first started sharing photos on here, and I would have to agree with them.

Today 22/12/2024 I share this capture.

I went to sleep way past the usual late hour last night, this happened because of watching some videos on a few top 10 countdowns. Our unexpected cat guest as not been spending the nights with us, I think he feels a little uncomfortable here now due to the other cats but surely he must have a place to go for disappearing for so long. Falling asleep was not a problem, thankfully because the past 2 nights there was some difficulty, likely due to the stress and not being exactly warm enough. The weather this morning changed to being bright, still a mostly cloudy sky but there was a bit of sun, it was a cold morning from the get go, what surprised me is this was even with the heating already being on. The heating as been on more and so meaning I'm just seeing money burning itself away. I only woke-up to my scheduled alarm, this is what I want and I haven't been waking up 1 or 2 hours prior. The heating keeps doing this annoying thing where in the morning at a certain time it's getting extra hot, it kind of affected me this morning but not as bad. I have been resting a lot past the alarm lately, this is likely because of the cold, a seasonal issue I guess. This morning was not a struggle to get out of bed, sure I rested a little longer but soon after I got on with the day. With a late start I was glad I didn't have work to be in for today which means that this was a good opportunity to get on with some chores and other things. Yesterday I didn't really have much time to sort out the things from the last online meeting with friends and since I plan to get online with them later I wanted to at least attempt to organise some of things. I wasn't going out to meet them today, I would of liked to but won't mostly because I'm feeling a bit unwell and would like to be better before Christmas day. And so today I thought I might try one of those 24 hour fasts and see if it does anything. This was surprisingly not difficult to do for now the 3rd but not really sure it actually helped with anything. I kept myself busy at times too often maybe to notice but there was definitely times I felt very hungry still I made sure to get a earlier shower in. I went online to meet with friends as everybody turned up, progress was a little slow just because of the structure of it. I want to try and get one of those small work-outs done but had no chance of that if I wanted to get the rest needed. After I went for dinner, I did check-in with my father, and lastly I started to prepare to settle in for the night. Steem while not in the direction we all wanted I'm glad it's moving away from the dreaded "middle" value. The TRX wallets on Steemit.com have been removed by the Steemit Developers a long with any funds. This was part of the condenser project to fix all the wrong display numbers from rewards. But I think removing the TRX wallet is downscaling the usefulness of the SteemitWallet and the Steem token as a whole. You can recover any funds by creating a new tron account with TronLink and then adding the Steem generated TRX account to that newly created account. Regardless I still think we should of kept the TRX wallet functional. If you agree on keeping the TRXwallet you can write to them here asking for it's return TRXWallet. Hope you have a good day or night and I will see you on the next Steemit post.

Today's Picture

As for the picture today I share one of a Christmas tree which was decorated and placed near a window by us. The Christmas tree was planted into a pot to give it a different look and was decorated with lights, reindeer, snowmen and Santa. Since the tree is by the window I do like how the light sometimes shines on the tree and so reflecting some of the sparkles from the decorations. However this particular photo was captured in black and white giving it a completely different look and vibe to Christmas "a sad vibe" which I think we should give time for as many people and animals are still out there suffering even on what is suppose to be the most joyful day of the year. Under the tree we also have a pair of ears, that's right no presents but our cat Mindy who is no longer with us decided to take over the space and enjoyed being close to the tree.
