When I was younger my mom told me that if you have a song stuck in your head it’s stuck there for a reason…figure out the meaning and it will go away. While I don’t know if that’s necessarily true of the Doodle-Bops song that gets lodged in there everyday, I do think there’s some truth to this!
This last few weeks have been overwhelming for me. We’ve completed our final homestudy visit, my business is taking up a lot of time and money, and i’ve had some injuries (my neck needs to be cracked so i have a constant headache and I managed to slam my arm in the van door (don’t ask) luckily i didn’t break it). To top it all of my husband has some major unknown illness that we’re trying to track down. I don’t handle my hubby being sick very well. So with all this going on I’ve been a bit of a slacker mom this week, about which i feel guilty which makes me more stressed and more tired…you get the picture.
So this morning I’m walking around like Rosemary Clooney singing this great Bing Crosby song and it hits me…it’s about perspective. Just like photography, life is about perspective. If i focus on the blessings in my life, these little things like laundry and proofing and paiting don’t seem like such a big deal. So today I did less worrying, played with my son, cooked and enjoyed an evening with my husband. The rest of this mundane world can wait…tonight i’m busy counting my blessings.
