quiet moments

today is just one of those quiet days.
quiet in the way that everything seams muffled, just a little, so that you can actually hear your thoughts.
it feels like it should be gray outside.  a good reason to stay inside and nestle into a cushy chair…blanket, feet up, the whole thing.
only…it’s sunny and if i look outside, there’s lots going on.
but, today, i prefer to stay right here…inside… just thinking and listening.
i’ve been thinking, a lot, about where my photography is leading me.  for the first time in a long while, there are
many options in front of me.  good, good options.  i have my plans, but i’m pleased to see that ‘life’ has built some
of her own plans in there too.  good plans, some i didn’t even consider.  she’s good like that.
i’m sitting here thinking how fortunate and grateful i am.
lucky…to have been given a gift that i love and that brings joy to others.
…to have a loving and over the top supportive family for whom i am forever grateful for and am nothing without.
…to have a burning desire to give others something that means so much to me…moments that can be revisited and relived time and time again.
…for all who have allowed me to share these gifts.
…for the surprises that still await me.
i am so grateful.
