Sometimes I wonder if anyone else ever thinks the way I do. If they are ever in the middle of a moment and then think, “This is life. This is life? Woah. This is life!” And even though it’s no moment in particular, the fact that it’s happening reminds you that you are alive and living. It’s then that you start processing everything: what have you been doing? What are you doing? What will you do?! Are you happy? Have you made others the same?
God is not a "Becky"
Ps. Nothing against the name or any person named Becky, it was just the first name that came to mind.
Her First Baby, My First Baby Shoot
She’s having a baby! It’s a boy!
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of helping out my friend Goddy on one of his shoots. I have done many other types of shoots before but never pregnancy ones. It was such a great experience - not to mention fun too. I added the pictures I took to my online portfolio. Just click on the ‘Lifestyle’ section.
Thanks Goddy for allowing me to tag along and CONGRATULATIONS to Paida on your baby boy.
Certain words are like fireworks or grenades in your life. People will tell you something and they will either come back to set off something magnificent or they will be timed modes of destruction. Luckily I’ve hard a lot more of the former and less of the latter in my life.
Ihe Neme (Things Are Happening)
- You’re thinking of plans on how to entertain the kids.
- Setting your alarm clock for an earlier time to squeeze more things on your schedule.
- Considering how your currently terrible situation can be used as a testimony.
- Praying for others more than you pray for yourself.
- Writing down a reminder to buy thank you cards for the volunteer workers.
- Learning that the choosing your battles have become a part of your nature.
- Seeing the cool in what you’re even 2-years-younger self would have found embarrassing.
- Making a little extra dinner for your roommate out of want rather than obligation
- Simply deciding not to get a manicure because you’re on dish duty the next day and you’re okay with it.
- Calling your relatives because they would like to talk to you even though the feeling may not be fully mutual.
- Finding joy in eating alone once in a while rather than fearing it.
Call it whatever you wish, maturity, growing up, life, what have you. All I know is that it is here and although I didn’t even know when it hit realizing how it has slowly altered my everyday actions has made me more appreciative of the life given me.
