I think I have made it through my first solo wedding season....whew... I feel like I can finally take a deep breath and relax. This reprieve couldn't have come sooner.. Christmas time..my favorite season.. it is so easy to get caught up in shoots and work and life and not stop to enjoy the simple things like the smile and laugh of my daughter and seeing the gleam in her eye as she looks at me like I am superman..I am reminded once again to stop and reflect and enjoy these times because I know there will come a day and a time when she will be "too cool" for me =).....I can now stop and enjoy....the smell of mom's homemade sweet potato pie and candied yams on the stove...the gentle and cold winter breeze across my cheeks... this is what life is all about. Its about enjoying people and things while you have them. its about not taking anyone or anything for granted. Or at least making an attempt to not. I have seen so many people come and go in and out of my life..I truly long for the day when I will never have to say good bye to those closest to me. The images here are from a family that I did a couple weeks back.....the Moss family... seeing Sarah's niece picking up handfuls of leaves and throwing them in the air and dancing and laughing and playing around them as they fell and swayed in the wind that morning landing wherever they felt like... reminded me again of a truthful statement.. There are certain things I can control and certain things I cannot and so I must enjoy life and let God work out the details. I can pick up the leaves and throw them into the air...but where they land and how they fall..is not my choice. So I must do all I can and let Him work out the details of my life .. enjoy....Merry Christmas. For those of you who actually read my blog... I want to say thank you and also..I want to let you know that January 1st or before, My website will have a brand new look...so be on the look out...Greater things await all of us in 2009 !
