Thanks for the fun challenge. My biggest change moving forward (that I know of) is my upcoming retirement from teaching this year!

My hand holding my Apple pencil is in the upper right corner as I move forward on curation of my photo library. My newish habit is to search for all photos with today's date. I spend at least 15 minutes choosing the best, correcting metadata, and deleting the junk and irrelevant. I'm uncovering delightful photos/stories and making everything easier to find.

Took me a while to find a sign I could photograph without impeding traffic! LOL

When I read this challenge, this popped into my mind and was perfect for my son moving forward into his last semester of college today!

Almost caught up! Took the photos yesterday as we were running errands and finally took the time to get the car washed. This is not an easy thing for us to do, as we have a leaking sun roof so cannot just run through an automated car wash or we'll be drenched! In any event, getting everything washed off and clean is definitely a move forward in my eyes! And as a plus the car navigation map is in the shot, showing us planning to continue moving forward from the car wash!

I am having more pain in my right hand and wrist and have been having to learn to use my left hand for my computer. Trying to move forward and keep on trying. Thank you for this challenge!

Thank you SO much for this challenge...
While this may not look like moving forward to most, I have been wanting to do this album for over 3 decades. I have started and stopped it numerous times, but the task just seemed unsurmountable. Collecting the photos, figuring out the dates (from things that happened 30-50 years ago), and finding the memorabilia was just too hard. I finally decided for this year's MOC that I would use it as my spring board to complete my "My Life in Books" album. The more that I have worked on it, the more that I have felt accomplished and each new daily challenge has gotten me closer to my goal. Sometimes taking that first step reveals so many hidden treasures and things that you didn't know. I decided for this challenge, that I would finally tell this story about when I was 3. I have heard my mother tell it more times than I can count - how she thought I could read because every page that she turned in this story, I knew word for word! It turns out that I loved it so much that I had memorized EVERY page. This book was lost before I ever remember it, so I don't recall it. For the challenge, I called my mother and asked for more details - what did it look like, how old exactly was I, etc.. I was able to figure out that it was this Little Golden Book. Then, I went looking for a photo of me at 3 to use of what I looked like then and was so delighted to find an actual photo of my 3rd birthday getting a stack of LGB...because of my Cinderella obsession!! Finally, today, I went to a vintage marketplace and I could not believe my eyes when I found the actual book that I used to have memorized! The new photos are from this evening and the lower right hand corner is from the marketplace when I found and text it to my mother! The sense of all the pieces falling into place and accomplishment finding these things makes me so happy!

I was attending my grandmothers funeral this weekend, and while there (in my hometown) I visited my other grandmothers grave. My journaling is about moving on when you lose someone extremely important in your life, like I did when my grandma died in 2004. She was like a mother to me and the only one of the adults in my family that actually liked me. I was 15 I think, when she died. I struggled for years and years to really get over her death, but I think I finally did.
I hope this isn't too much of a stretch when it comes to interpreting your challenge- in that case I'm sure you'll let me know

Reminds me that the path ahead can be dangerous if you don't prepare for the unexpected.

Thank you for the challenge. I believe that this is my first layout since the last Month of Challenges - am I ever rusty!! I even had to google how to do some of the easy Photoshop stuff. This page is glimpse of the forward movement of my Dad's life - one that we didn't see coming in this way.
