Today is the start of my 365 day challenge I am dropping on myself inspired by Tasra Mar. We'll see how this photo + inspiration behind it every day challenge goes. I vow to do my best not to slack. I may not get the post up THAT day, especially when it comes to the weekends, but I MUST have a picture at the end of every day! I know I can at least accomplish that though it might be tough for me considering the fact I find it hard sometimes not to get bored with what I have to take pictures of being a stay-at-home mom with at the moment no car most of the time! It forces on great creativity which I think will be very good for me as well. At the end of the year I want to be a 300% better photographer than I am now just by playing with my camera and learning new things EVERY day!
Sometimes I wish I could remember what it was like to be a toddler again. To be learning everything anew; from the start. Your brain working at a million mph. Processing. Remembering. Trying to understand. To be innocent and not knowing what the world was really like yet. No problems or life decisions pressing down on your shoulders. No worries or responsibilities. Stopping at every leaf and rock, every flower and stalk of grass, to examine it with contemplation.As I watched my twin 14 month old boys discovering today on their outdoor adventures, all caught up in their only lil' "baby world" I couldn't help but smile and want to give em' kisses. We could be more like a child as adults. Less brought down by the weight of our lives and the world and stopping more often to marvel of what is good in life. To "examine" and "contemplate" what we have to be thankful for and how blessed we are. The beauty of God's creation all around us! :)
