I can’t tell you how often I think about the world around me, and the choices I make. Why I do what I do, when I do it, & who I do it for. My brain is typically a whirlwind of thoughts that swirls so fast I’m nearly dizzy!! A lot of what I have been thinking about is what is meaningful to me. Will this choice make a bit of difference when Im 80 years old. Will what I have done with my life today be memorable to me, will I be proud of it?!
Yesterday little buddy man got into a stack of props I had taken pictures of to sell, amazingly enough he found a hat that was just his size. He was walking around with it on for some time when the light hit him just right and I thought – I should take a picture of him. I sat him up on the couch and began playing with him, getting him to giggle and caught a few really cute shots of him. But it wasn’t quite what I was going for, by this time he was more interested in what was on t.v. than his mom with that black thing in front of her face, AGAIN. So I started playing peek a boo with the camera, in which started the cutest thing ever.
He started playing peek a boo with me with his hat – I loved it. In the midst of capturing these sweet moments my heart felt fulfilled. I had stopped what I was doing to enjoy something SO simple as playing peek a boo. The smile on my little man’s face just melts my heart. I love it. I love his smile, I love his giggle, and I love him.
