What to do? What to do?

Have you ever just woke up one morning and thought "what is my purpose in life?"  I seem to be doing that quite often the past few weeks.  I would love to be in photography full time and use the creative part of my brain.  I love the feeling I get when I am outside admiring God's creation or playing with a child to photograph them having fun and being natural.  That is the best medicine for me.  When I am not doing what I love and enjoy, I question what is my purpose.  To get out of that mood, I grab the camera, put the dog on a leash and for a walk we go.  Within minutes I know that my purpose is to bring a smile to my face, to the face of my family and a random stranger with the images I create with my camera.  I love photography!

Remember the simple times

Like most Ohioians, for a week, I have been without electric, water, internet and oh my goodness, cable television and have gotten behind on my "Drop Dead Diva" episodes....how will I ever survive?  Just like I did when I was little, I entertained myself with crafts, reading and photography. 

Glad I was making "survival bracelets" for a fund raiser and had the paracord to use as a clothes line!  Unfortunately on this particular day, it rained just when the clothes were about dry.  Back to the drawing board....or washboard as it were.
