Looking Down - March Self-Portrait Challenge

My dear friend Amy at While Wearing Heels hosts a once a month self-portrait challenge and I have been a big chicken about doing it. 

Oh I've wanted to do it, and I've been somewhat of a voyeur, checking out all of the other pictures, but take a picture of myself? Gahhhh!
But it bugged me and lurked in the back of my thoughts.  I missed the first month, then the second, when the theme was "Reflections", which were so awesome that I was just blown away.  (You can check them out yourself HERE.)  Still, I hesitated.  Finally, I did what I always do when I need to make myself do something that scares me....I TOLD someone that I would do it.  (Yep, that's usually all it takes for me to get off my butt and do something.)
That very week we had snow.  I love snow and we get so little of it here in SW Missouri, so I did something I always wanted to do, I went outside barefoot in the snow.

Bare naked toes in the snow.  It felt cold, but wonderful!  Then...I just kind of wanted to lay down in  it....so I did.  (My little dog was in the window looking at me like I was crazy.)  It was kind of fun, but it was also cold, so I snapped a quick picture and came back inside to my warm slippers and my hot coffee.

 What surprised me the most when I downloaded this picture to my computer was not the fact that I had on no make-up, nor the fact that I hadn't even fixed my hair yet, but....how much I was smiling!
It was a silly thing to do, all by myself on one of the few days we had measurable snow, but I did it...and I have a picture to prove it!

Thanks Amy!  

Linking up to Amy's wonderful party sometime later today!

Now won't you be a brave soul and join in as well?  There's a new theme every month!
