Make Your Month About Living

On November 1, 2026November 2, 2026 By GeoKsIn PhotographyLeave a comment

The daily grind can make it hard to truly live - to find joy, purpose and engagement with the family members, friends, other people and pets in our lives. This month's PBC theme challenged us to try doing just that.

Make Your Month Different

This month's PBC theme heightened by awareness of events and decisions outside the bounds of our typical choices. Some were voluntary, some involuntary. This post shows a handful of moments when we shook things up!

Make Your Month Full of Fun

We accepted the challenge to Make Our Month Full of Fun. Qualifying activities and experiences included family board game night, family visits, museum visits and some quieter moments close to home.

In the Spirit of the Season

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, "in the spirit of the season?" I think of family, traditions, good food and winter weather and I did my best to capture some of those ideas in five photographs for this month's edition of the Photo Blogging Challenge.

Makes Me Smile

This month's Photo Blogging Challenge theme was a helpful nudge to lean into the things that bring you joy and make you smile, a small - but powerful - counterweight against the way so much of what's in the news these days fosters dread and frustration.
