Ever notice that when you ask people "how are you?" or "how's life going" and you (or they) answer "busy..." blah blah...
I was going to start off this post with "busy as usual around here...." and then I thought I better not...but you know what? Life IS busy. And that's just how it is and it's so sad. When is the last time you sat down and just looked out the window. Read a good book over a nice hot cup of tea (or coffee) and just took some deep breaths?
I look at my schedule and as much as I love my jobS...something HAS to give.
Photography is my passion!!! Fostering newborn babies is my absolutely all-time LOVE...being a paramedic in Lambton county and now Huron County as well - is a job. I do enjoy being a paramedic and now that I"m building a studio and plan to move from downtown Sarnia to Camlachie, I NEEED to work as photography isn't as busy as my heart wants it to be :(
...BUT
That means BUSY. No time. To enjoy the weather. God's creation. The wind at the beach and the sunsets Lake Huron has to offer. How long can I keep going? Like THIS?
I need photography and pregnancies and newborns and weddings to keep my heart filled and the bills paid so I can truly do what I Love and enjoy every second of it! And the down moments to not be filled with shift work and appointments.
Take time mommas...to smell the roses. To enjoy your babies. To love TIME where it sits still.
XO just my two cents from an exhausted paramedic photog lol.
