I have sat down to write this post about a dozen times. Not sure why, but the creative juices just aren't flowing for me. I have always been so inspired when it came to my photography and my blog. It has been a source of enjoyment and self reflection. However, as of late, it serves as one more thing on my never ending list of things to do. I want to sit down and write about how our life is rainbows and roses, but the truth is, it's not. There are days I never get out of my pajama pants. There are days that I feel all I do is yell at my kids. There are days where it seems nothing I do, and I mean NOTHING, is good enough. Meals don't always get made, laundry doesn't always get finished and yes, sometimes the toilets go way too long without a scrubbing.
This is life… this is my life.
All I want out of my life is no regret. I don't want to look back and wish that I played Legos with my boys more, held Evie a little longer and spent a little more time just being with my family. The question is, how do I get there? There is always "one more thing I have to do" before I can help Alex with his new set. There is always "one more minute" before I can play a game with Tyler. And bedtime with Graham and Evie is always so rushed, because lets face it, by the end of the day I am exhausted. I try to be conscious of my action. I try to be the parent that I believe my children deserve, but life and the to-dos always find a way to creep back in.
So with this being said, what I hope for for 2014 is
BALANCE.
I hope to cherish each and every moment. I will strive to live for today and not fear tomorrow.
I hope to spend more time with my kids and make my marriage a priority.
Most of all I will have no regrets.
This is my one chance… there are no do overs in life.
