Pictures

It's everything in me not to apologize about this.

But it's something that I feel strongly about not apologizing for.

 

I don't take a lot of pictures.

 

I realize that in the blogging world, that's somewhat taboo.

Everyone has to have a picture of everything.

Everywhere you go.

Everything you do.

Every person you see, event you experience, and even food you consume.

 

But here's why I'm choosing not to apologize:

When I spend my energy thinking about taking pictures, I forget to live in the moment.

When I am constantly fumbling with my phone or camera, or just remembering to do such a thing, then I find I can't really enjoy the people I'm with in the moment.

 

And after the event is over, when I realize I took not one single picture, I tend to feel guilty.

But why?

I don't need to feel guilt.

I felt love.

I felt compassion.

I felt joy.

I felt fulfilled.

In the moment.

 

I love the past. And I love memories.

But I don't want to be so burdened with it that I can't enjoy where I am in the moment.

 

I guess this is me giving me permission to let it go.

I can't be good at everything.

 

So, what my blog lacks in pictures, it makes up for in living in the moment.

I do my best to share with you events, thoughts, ideas and inspirations.

Hopefully, every once in a while I'll share a photo or two, also.

 

When I remember.

 

Here are my two biggest supporters of living in the moment:
