Lilacs and the smell of Rain.

They remind me to enjoy the small things in life! You know the saying, stop and smell the roses? Well in my case it's stop and smell the lilacs. I love small things... They fascinate me! I love to take pictures and videos of the small things in life. As the photographer of the family, at gatherings I'm expected to be behind the camera. But sometimes.... sometimes I'm not... Because...Well, have you ever seen *The secret life of Walter Mitty? A character in that movie says two things that I happen to  agree with one is:
 If I like a moment—I mean me, personally—I don’t like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.
 Thats me. So when you see me without my camera. I'm just there... Maybe it's because I just like the moment to much to have the distraction of my camera.

He said something else too... He said "Beautiful things don't ask for attention." And you know we pass by beautiful things everyday. Maybe we even complain about them... So next time your outside, or tripping over your stuff,
Stop and look around you, thank God for what He's blessed you with. Those beautiful things you pass by everyday.

*p.s I know the secret life of Walter Mitty has questionable words in it, so be cautious if you watch it.

The Future.

Not my favorite subject. But one that is always somehow involved in my conversations... Like all of them.
Graduation. Yep, Me. Graduating... And so now you get it! That age old question that every Graduate gets, " So now what are you going to do?" Those 6 words in italic I've come to hate. Time passes much to quickly, and yet when I was little I'd wish it away.
"What am I going to do with this life I've been given?"
 That question hunts me. And the truthful answer?

 I don't know.

I really don't! But one thing I do know, if I keep doing what I know God wants me to do...

Then I don't have to be afraid of the future.
