We are in the weeds friends -- (you know the drill; we're all there, right?) young children, a litany of school/sport/other seemingly important enrichment activities filling the calendar, demanding (albeit highly satisfying) jobs, and all the other sundry bits (car repairs, laundry, groceries, meals, finances, leaky roofs, dirty pools...good times.) All first world problems, I admit, but the aforementioned list is my motivation for aiming low. For not going above and beyond on the resolution (or going there at all) front.
What the heck does any of this have to do with the seven photos above, you ask? Well a key component in the grace, integrity, pride, survival thing is the ever-elusive "being in the moment." In another words, our weekends have changed of late. Fantastic outings that I'm carefully documenting with my camera have made way for regrouping, largely camera-free. And the subsequent Apples to Apples marathons and Olympic figure skating binging and merry band of neighborhood kids running through my house herding are not typically the most blog photo-worthy. But they are the essential, the necessary... They are the most worthy -- with a capital 'W.'
Yes?

amen, friend:)!
Yes! Isn't it interesting how our blogging changes as the kiddos get older? I rarely post now because the things we do aren't necessarily beautiful or exciting to others, but man, it is so important to me. When we aren't running around and my rapidly growing teenager, preteen or trying-to-grow-up youngest wants to play a board game or watch a movie with me, it feels like a gift. No time or energy for cameras at that moment. :)
yes. the most worthy indeed.
I love your reminders to stay grounded and focused. It's hard! You're always that voice from the desert reminding us all to breathe in deeply and exhale slowly. :)
