Range of Emotions – WW & You Capture

by

As I mentioned earlier in the week, my camera is out of commission for a bit. And that makes me sad.

But not nearly as sad as what has recently happened in our world, specifically Japan, in the last several days. My heart is heavy yet I keep a brave face for my kiddos. It’s what we do as parents, right? We try not to let on that anything is wrong and keep smiling.

In the wake of this tragedy I’m also reminded that I need to be thankful for all that we have. So VERY thankful. That we are together and safe and we have food on our table, clean water and a roof over our heads. That we are healthy.

It really does come back to those simple things…

I’ve been a bit emotional this week. But I’m doing my best to stay strong for my children and remember that we are so very blessed.

And without sounding glib, I do still have my phone to take pictures of my happy baby girl and her sweet smile while she plays with her brothers’ toothbrushes…

  2. I know it makes me not a great person, but I haven’t really been following the news much. I know there is only such much tragedy I can handle and I just can’t do it right now. I wish I were stronger.

  4. It really is awful and definitely makes you appreciate all that you have.

    I love how she is getting into her big brothers’ stuff. Too cute!
