I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, because even though I have been staying on top of things better than usual lately, at the end of the day I’ll think of all I’ve done and be happy…only then to realize seconds later that I have more to do tomorrow.
I’m not even angry about the abundance of things I have to do….actually I find I’m more productive in this state.
The only thing that frustrates me is this: In between getting all the big things done, tiny little sweet moments are lost.
I realized yesterday that I hadn’t taken a photo in like 2 weeks! And before that I think it was like a month!
SHAMEFUL!
I want pictures for my scrapbooks of course, but honestly, I want them mostly to hold on to the few fleeting seconds of Jackson’s childhood.
I want to remember all this sweetness I experience everyday.
20 years from now I won’t care that I paid such-and-such bill on time, or the grades I made on my school work……but I will delight in every single photograph….one by one.
I don’t want him to grow up…but I know he will.
I need to get back in line with what matters.
Family first, pictures second, everything else later.
Have a great day!
I hear ya girl, these are the same thoughts I struggle with all the time. It’s so easy to let the other stuff creep up on the priorities list.
I am totally inspired by your bluebonnets pics, though, to get some of Sabriel in the wildflowers we have growing in our yard.
Thanks for the kick in my butt to remember to cherish all the little stuff.
I try to get the camera out every day but I don’t always do it. I did take a few pics of the boys today and as I read your post I was like “Yeah, me too!” : )
I’ve got to start having my camera in my purse at all times. It’s hard to get big kids to stay still for pictures.
