Balance…

daily mantra:

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart”

~Helen Keller

Finding balance: I think this is one of the hardest things for me. I want to do EVERYTHING! I want to accomplish what I set out to do. I hate standing still. Most of the time, ok all the time, I run short. But the greatest thing I have learned is this…you can do what you want. You can learn what you want. If you set your mind to it…it will happen. But the key is to find the
balance to still live.

The other day, I was leaving the house. I pulled out of the drive way and the sun was so brilliant. It was bleeding down the street. As I looked over my right shoulder to back out, a glitter of sun caught my eye. The little red tree on the edge of the yard was lite so beautifully. It was as if just this little spot light of glitter was placed on it. I paused. I was overwhelmed of it simpleness. The little berries caught my eyes next. I caught myself smiling. I thought to myself, “spring,” as the warmth of the sun was drawing me in. A slight breeze was in the air and the little branches were fluttering. The little leaves holding on. In that split moment, that I allowed myself to stop and ponder, it was telling me beauty, simple, quiet, patience comes all in due time. BALANCE. All things natural will come in due time.

Then the moment was gone.

I looked down and noticed my camera sitting beside me, a thought. This is why you love photography…capture this moment. Capture the simple, quiet beauty.
Isabel and Jack…let yourselves stop. Take a moment to always let the beautiful moments in life catch you. In doing this, you will find…Beauty, peace, love, and BALANCE. Love you both always…~Mommy
