Click on photo to enlarge.
This still life isn't a perfect composition. But I couldn't resist the morning shadows on the wall, so I took it as is, dust and all.
The little girl in the photo is my mother, Barbara, born June 26, 1916, passed away March 29, 1997. The photo sits on Lesley's piano, which is still in our house until she gets her own more permanent place. I'm glad because Lesley plays when she comes home. Barbara was a pianist too, among other things.
Above all she was enthusiastic. Do you know the root of "enthusiasm"?
dictionary.com says (my bold):
possession by a god (énthous, var. of éntheos having a god within, -theos god-possessing)
Mom was enthusiastically full of God! (I think everyone is full of God, but that's another subject.)
