1000 paper cranes
Folded with white note paper and the numbers "999" and "1000" written on them. Posed in front of a 2010 calendar with a "Year of the Tiger" illustration while in a San Francisco Chinese bookstore.
I accomplished my goal of folding paper cranes each day in 2009. I'm hoping 2010 will be wonderful year.
Take care, be safe and remember to appreciate each and every day. You never know when it could be your last.
