Don't you just love it when people say they will be back and then don't post again for another month?
This month has been intense.
My life has been full of learning (lots of it) and trying to combine the "single" happy I once knew with the "married" happy I need to be. I have read countless journal entries, searched books I love for highlighted passages, jotted down experiences daily, and tried to find my inner-light again. That little hub I know is inside of me, just waiting for me to expose it and break it free from the dreariness surrounding it. Things have tried to get in my way...but I have tried my best to shove them out, understanding that there is adversity in ALL things, especially when you are trying to find yourself.
All in all, I feel this month has been a success.
In between my efforts to save my soul and relationships, I have been BOOKED solid with photo shoots. Working 40 hour weeks, having 10+ editing hours added on top of that, and making sure I have clean laundry and food on the table for my husband...well let's just say I'm a bit overwhelmed. I've found balance inside; now I just need to balance my world around me.
The thing that stands out most from the past few weeks is this:
It is worth it to let the dishes, laundry and work wait for the moments you know you will remember forever.
Last night at dusk on an old dirt road in the town where my husband grew up, we stopped the car and listened to the frogs and crickets chirp. I felt immense gratitude for the things I have in my life..especially the LOVE of my life. I am grateful to be married to someone who wants take time to listen to the frogs and the crickets. In that moment, my little hub of light grew brighter.
