Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Reminder {8}
Shine Bright.
Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us,
and then we'll need no other light.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe~
Reminder {7}
Keep it Simple
I am loving my peony right now. She smells so lovely!
I know I promised a field trip, but I am too tired.
Have a great weekend!
Pacing Myself
Pace Yourself.
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. ~Earl Nightingale~
I came across a rather thought provoking post today, something that is congruent to the thoughts that have been swimming around in my head lately. Until I decided to reply to this particular post, I hadn't really thought about forming my thoughts into any sort of conclusion about what my "deal" is right now, but I did.
Explaining that I have found myself in a slight respite when it comes to photography. Currently, I am not putting a whole lot of emphasis on that aspect of my life. It is not because I don't think it's important, because it is-very. But, I am coming to recognize that there are equally important things going on in my life that need a lot more attention than my camera. Deciding to let it be what it is (for now) because I don't want to force it. Otherwise, I am putting myself in exactly the opposite position of where I would really like to be.
Jokingly, I admitted that I hadn't a clue as to where I really wanted to be. That's not entirely true. I do know. I'm working on it. However, it is not going to happen overnight and I can accept that.
Lately, my focus has been on:
~Preparing for a garden
~Rebalancing household duties
~Going to bed & waking up earlier
~Actually doing things with other people (flesh friends)
~Lending a creative hand to PACT (Newsletter, flyers, t-shirts)
~Design ideas for a book containing remembrances of our last trip
~Organizing piece by piece (Currently working on my bedroom--clothes)
~A Cooking Class that will teach me various ways to prepare what will come from the garden and our CSA.
This week has been especially busy, but I'm enjoying it (I will also enjoy my 3-day weekend!). I am really making an effort to open myself up for new and interesting experiences. Things I have been foolishly sheltering myself from for far too long now. If I take a few less pictures because I'm too busy thinking about other 'stuff', so be it--my harddrive will thank me!
Reminder {3}
You are Unique.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
I had an extremely productive weekend and I am as happy as a clam.
What was "unique" about your weekend?
Reminder {2}
Take a Break.
I'm not the planner I used to be, and that's a good thing.
A mini-vacation that felt like one was exactly what the doctor ordered.
It's amazing how much your outlook can change over the course of four days.
Come back on Friday to find out more about our visit to the barrier islands off the coast of NC.
