Just Exactly Enough, Peace 2009.







Trusting in Just Exactly Enough

Always, always, always…..now, yesterday, tomorrow…there is always enough….but much of the time, it is just exactly enough…..not more…..but not a bit less either.
 
Each day in 2009 held something that I learned from whether it be as random as knowing that I really should vacuum every single day to as important as thanking GOD for everything that happens, big or small, happy or sad.  My word of 2009 was FOCUS, and darn, did I try and stay on task.  I will keep the faith in the word FOCUS and combine it with my word for this year, POSSIBILITIES.
2009 was a year of lessons learned, memories made, good times had, tears shed, fights fought, hopes had, moments shared, all in all, it was a good year.  NOT a GREAT year, but not a TERRIBLE year either.  Personally I think that too many people just look at all of the despair, destruction, turmoil, etc. and really...from every single thing, God uses it for GOOD. 
I wish people would take a little more time to really listen to that and not only listen to it..but BELIEVE it.
"...always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect" 1 Peter 3:15

Bits Of Life Photos.




What happens when you give an unspoken wish a place to become a dream come true? 
How do you gather the courage required to help a new found dream soar?

This year was the year to start living my dream.  
Photography.
I am in the process of starting up my own photog site + blog + fan facebook page.  
Here is a start!  Become a fan on facebook to see photos I have taken from different photog sessions.
I'm excited!
Oh the Possibilities.

Darling.


Isn't she the cutest thing you ever did see.
I love this picture of her!
So cute!

Tis The Season.


Gifts.


Before I took the picture, I sat for a minute and watched her sleep, her face partially hidden from the afternoon light, her arms and legs limp with that enviable relaxation unique to babies + children.
As I brought her tiny foot into the viewfinder of my camera, I happily realized that I was doing the thing I was worried I would lose. I was enjoying the solitude. Celebrating the simplicity of perfectly formed baby toes. Discovering and capturing a beautiful moment.
In the midst of all the overwhelms, it's comforting to know that change doesn't always have to change you.
