So every day I stand back and watch my life pass before me. It does not pass slow but fast, much faster than I would like some days. In a few weeks I will be 30 years old. Where the heck has my time gone? I know where, it's gone by the way of laundry, dishes, dirty diapers, runny noses, midnight feedings, school assembles, and sick belly's. I am a mama and that has been my life since I was 15 years old. Half my life I have been a mama and you know what? I am OK with that.
I guess my question is, what have I accomplished in my almost 30 years? Not much if I had to really look back at my life. I have not done much at all, yes I have my kids and I am content with that but what really have I done? I wanted to be a photo journalist and see the world, I wanted to be on the front lines of the war and let my pictures speak for themselves. I wanted so much to show the world what I see when looking through a lens. I wanted so much for the world to see the pain and despair along with the beauty and wonder that is around us every day.
Now I spend my day's doing school work, cleaning the house and tending to the kids. I play cards with my husband before bed and listen to music as I sit and write out blogs hoping that someone out there may like my words and keep reading. It is a far cry from speaking to the world through my lens but it's a start.
We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving. And we all have some power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.
- Louisa May Alcott
