Heading Nowhere

This past week has been a rough one to say the least. Do you ever have days when you feel like you just can’t win? That is how I have felt since last Saturday. I’m not complaining, we all have those moments- some of us just handle them more eloquently than others. To make it through this week I have kept reminding myself of a quote that I love;

“Embrace the fact that you may zig zag  your way to your best life” -Unknown

Personally, I struggle with this possibility. I like to have a set plan and know exactly what the future holds. I’m beginning to realize that sadly this cannot be. This week especially, I have learned to accept that there are no guarantees in life. I am ready to start my journey on this winding road and embrace the fact that I may never know where it is going to lead me.

Haze of Beauty

I said before that I briefly lost touch of my love of photography. I have been in somewhat of a haze the past few weeks, but recently I have started to see the beauty in life’s many challenges. As I was looking through some photos I took this summer I came across these…

I woke up for an early morning run and as I rolled out of bed I noticed the thick fog outside my window. I was lazy and decided to skip my run. So I ended up grabbing my morning coffee and sat down on the couch. I sat there staring out the window, entranced by the fog. I couldn’t resist so I grabbed my camera and headed out onto the balcony.

The grass was covered in dew, left over from the night storms.

 

These pictures reminded me that there is beauty even on the darkest of days. We just have to push past all of the fog that fills our minds and create our own beauty.
