Yesterday I had one of "those days"...
One where it feels a bit "groundhog-ish"...
One where my desires do not align AT ALL with my children's... simply for them to take a nap!...
One where in just a very small little moment - all the frustration and annoyance is dissipated to nothing but calm and peace...
All because of this magical gift:
I actually drove by and had to go home and get my camera to come back and capture it... it was just so gloriously beautiful. 2.6 kms from my house... I drive here often and I know how lucky I am to have this right near home... Canberra is a very picturesque city, its true.
I took this opportunity to then take a few photos of Joshua:
Well I took quite a few of him as he wandered about... found himself a giant "rock egg" and pointed out to the boats he would go on himself one day. "Mum, I'm gonna go on that boat okay"... "yes okay, but not right now!"
I had been thinking, only hours before, that I needed to get some more photos of him... that he is SO hard to get photos of these days. Either wont keep still, or Ben is needing my attention... so these photos are very special to me... part of that "listening to the whispers of my soul" ... grabbing with both hands an opportunity as it presented itself to me. Only hours after it surfaced.
Then I took these... a mini artists date if you will. It's been a while since I have taken a few photos just for the sake of photography's sake (and boy it sure felt good). Especially nice to be able to PLAY just a little with my new camera. This would have to be my favourite:
I am so happy I was able to let go of what I thought should happen yesterday, and instead, embraced what WAS & IS. And the boys and I were so much better for it.
Simplicity!
