This may come as a surprise to some people...okay most people probably. I enjoy silence and solitude. I'm actually rather introverted. Being alone fuels me, especially being outside on a walk by myself or with someone that appreciates the silence as well. I know I know....I give off a good impression of being extroverted....I'm a poser. I love being with people and laughing and having a good time,(trust me....LOVE to laugh and joke around) but nothing fuels me more than a walk in the woods/park with my camera. Finding time to slow down, reflect, quiet my heart, focus on what I love...... (ok...I've mentioned before I suck at being reflective, but when it's intentional I suck at it...on my own terms? I'm okay.).
I enjoyed sitting on a log in the sun this morning...just me, the birds and the sound of the Bow River at my feet. Ahhhh...perfection. As I sat there I was reminded of how the Lord has blessed my life. In spite of those pity parties that descend upon me I know that I am blessed. I have been adopted and am the daughter of an awesome God. I have an amazing husband that loves me and tells me every day. I have two special little men in my life that have brought so much joy and fulfillment that at times my heart feels like it will burst. I've been blessed with many friends (far and near) that love me in spite of who I am and are willing to put up with my randomness. My family as crazy as they are....I'd be lost without them, they've seen me at my best and worst and have cheered me along the whole way! I've got a pretty good part time gig shooting people (and not in the Evelyn Salt sense!) and am looking forward to what's ahead. I've taken a self imposed break from shooting the last few weeks with the exception of instagram...it's been good to look at why I do what I do and why I do it and I'll share more on that in the next week or so.
This scene below was just a little of what I grabbed with my camera this morning....definitely need to plan a few more Mondays like this!
