It was Never Forever

There is no way you can give me what I want

that choice is not within you

doesn't mean we can't have a good time

and enjoy life's virtues

When it is time to part

there will be no regrets

we have given each other what we need

there is no reason to fret

So I will move on

as you will too

I will meet someone new

who shows me he loves me true

For now we can enjoy and be friends

before someday this romance ends

Revel in the fact we were brought together

even though we know it was never forever

Daily Motivation #1

Someone who truly cares about you will be with you when you feel like you've hit rock bottom, always supportive. They will cheer you when you succeed reveling in your accomplishments. They will never judge you but always bring you up. Don't lose these people in your life, they are the ones that helped see you through.

Love You

I would love you

Even if you had nothing to your name

I would love you

If you shared your time

I would love you

If you would only be mine

I would love you

Even if you were hurt in the past

I would love you

And work out all that made you sad

I would love you

If our Saturday night was on the couch

I would love you

If our vacation was the local park

I would love you

If you would let me in

I would love you

Even if you didn’t tell me did

Behind the Scenes of What I do!

 

Time

Time....the most precious thing in the world as it is such a small amount we have here on Earth.  Cherish it with your family and friends and do not waste it.  Make the time.  Find the time.   Use your time wisely.  You never know when it will run out.  Let yourself love fully.  Don't be afraid to remove things that do not bring you happiness, contentment or joy!  For me, if I share my time with you and make room for you, you are something special to me.  

Well, Helllloooo!

 Turned a corner on my mountain hike last week and this beauty popped out of the bush.  Darn near fell as it scared the heck out of me.  Yet, I love that this one was way up on the trail from where I had gone.  

The Minute..

Don't Shut Me Out

 

Grandfather's Love

Being a grandma I understand how much love you feel for your grandchildren.  They are a blessed joy from a child you created and loved.  It is an extension of that love, it is such a surreal feeling the amount of love that flows through you when gazing upon your grandchildren.  

This beautiful bride lost her beautiful grandmother and we know she was there in spirit, it flowed through her grandfather and all the family in attendance. This was such a beautiful moment for me. It made me realize how short life is and how you have to grab love when it is handed to you, do not hesitate. 

Warm Backlight

 

I’ve got your Back

 I see your struggles

And I want you to know 

I got your back

More than you know 

Riddle Me This

 

What a story this old car must have.  Who were the occupants?  Were they taken out by law enforcement or the mafia types?  I don't know but looking at it spurred these questions and boy would I love to know the story.

Patience

Patience.....I have it, sometimes I don't. Today editing, I don't have it. Waiting for things, I hate that. What do they say? Good things come to those who wait? I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for something, anything. I guess sometimes it is just easier not having any expectations of anyone or anything so there is nothing to be impatient about.

Life is just so short and I get so frustrated when something good comes along because I have never been known for patience. When I want something, I fight for it. Guess I just have to fight for things slower now and it is a good life lesson.

Awaken

 

Just Right

All American boy

with big blue eyes

heart of gold

hidden from sight

Strong silent strength

and a soul that burns

with an ache from the past

and lessons he's learned.

Not typically what I would see

in my current every day life

but sometimes what you don't see

is exactly just right.

Warm Winter Afternoon Senior Shoots

Things are a little bit slow for me, quite a difference from last year's shoots but I am so blessed and grateful to the seniors that have booked with me.  Such a great experience.  Here are two from this afternoon's shoots, both seniors are beautiful inside and out and so very kind. 

Bad Talk

Growing closer to God, I have noticed that I can no longer stand when people talk badly about others.  No matter how little the talk may be, the consequences to me are big. It is not how God wants us to be. He wants us to all be kind to each other, even when the other person is not around.

1 Month

Tomorrow will be one month since my last kid moved out.  Now, I've had to figure out where I fit in the world and how to make my home a home again, even without kids.   I've never been a fan of big life changes all at once but it always seems to happen to me.  Trying to be grateful because I really am, just sometimes I tend to wallow a little bit in my own self pity. I am after all, human.

My time with the Mickey Utley Band came to an end and that was a huge part of what I would look forward to each year and for awhile, it was a couple times a year.  I learned so much working for them and my confidence grew.  So grateful for that experience.

Now, I feel like I'm in a rut, stale.  My creativity has taken a nose dive and from time-to-time this does happen to creatives.  This one has really got me down so it's time to put my thinking cap on this weekend and figure out how I can get going again, fast and furious.

Sunday I sat down and read the bible for 30 minutes. I used a timer as I wanted motivation so stay focused, it was a lot easier than I expected. I am looking forward to reading some more tonight.  

Well, I am off.  I hope you all can relate!
