"STOP at the corner."
I didn't know if I had captured anything at all. A sunset, is a sunset, is a sunset as I thumbed through all of the images. Then I saw myself.... my profile... ME! I am looking left towards the little bit of light in the corner. There I am.
I am finding myself again. No longer lost in the mountain of laundry, nor behind the fog of baby powder. Not drowning in a sea of bottles, nor blown away in a tornado of moving, yet again. Sure, I have no doubt that I will have to put my mug on a milk carton every now and again. But slowly I see me emerging. Every day more and more I am coming to realize that I don't have to live my life just for my children and husband.
It's okay to live my life for me, at least sometimes.
"I'm going to take one more picture then we can cross the street together."
