Thinking in twos.

Little by little does the trick- Aesop

I am trying to live by this motto. That small and simple steps towards a goal are the way to actually achieve it. Its also in an effort to slow down and enjoy life . Lately, I have been going back through old shoots and finding that pictures that I once overlooked as good are actually perfect. It makes me wonder how much in life I look over. How much I miss the truly beautiful things in place of those things which appear right or good at the first glance. Maybe, just maybe, I need to do some better looking.

no more real reasons

now its up to me.

trying to enjoy the ride

for the second time this month, i have had a random older man come up to me in the grocery store to remind me to smile- that life isn't so bad. i guess i need the reminder.
truthfully, its made me think as to whether or not I am truly happy. i think i am sometimes- i am trying to relax and just enjoy life has it comes. but theres an ache in my heart of all the things i wish i could do or see or go.
who knows.....life is good.

what life was supposed to be like

letting down all of the walls

this weekend i found complete happiness in the simpleness of life. there is something to be said about lettings yourself be connected to another human, to allow yourself to be cared for and loved. as i journeyed in allowing myself to be connected to another i found such healing. such warmth and kindness, such safety and rest. To realize, that life really isn't all that complicated, that people don't fit into stereotypes or that we have to be defined by pre-set notions rather just to open our eyes to see the beauty of another . i found myself wrapped completly in a place where i was forever changed and i relish in every single moment.
I am completly O.K. about all of it

goodbye granddaddy

today i buried my Grandfather. at his funeral, i gained more love and respect for him than all the years that i knew him . i realize that at times we all spend time with one another but rarely sit down to see w ho they are. I mourn for the man that i didnt know but rejoice in all that he left behind. his legacy is his family . i am grateful to carry that legacy and to learn about the man i never knew.
