Focus on a thankful heart...

As a parent there are so many times you have expectations for your kids that you yourself want to be exempt from. I want Adriah to be thankful for every meal - even when it's not her favorite, be grateful for every treat - even when the portion is not enough, be polite and kind in every situation - even when she gets the short end of the deal...yah, like i said, I know I fall short of these things every day! But, my desire to be content and thankful in all things. It's been an intense couple of months and these next couple of weeks will be a real test for me. Last weekend I shot 6 families and I have a wedding and 2 more families this weekend. Normally this would be a lot but, with us trying to wrap up everything before our our November vacation...it's really crazy. I need to not be overwhelmed...content with business and be thankful for the work I've been given. It is a blessing! AND I love what I do...so even more of a blessing. But, in the midst of crazy business I still want to be a good mom and wife...that's where I have a hard time. It's like if everyone would go away I could crank out and incredible amount of work OR if I was done the work I could have tons of fun with my husband and kids. I have the challenge of juggling both and facing my imperfections every day...not easy! But who am I fooling? Everyone who knows me knows I'm not perfect anyway.

So I'll take one day at a time and do my best at work and at home!

For all my clients waiting to see your pictures. I'm on it! Back to editing....
