This Too Shall Pass ? - Grayslake Photographer and Writer

I am working on a really great Mother's Day blog for next week.  Some of my favorite Grayslake mama's allowed me to take some shots of them.  I can't wait to share.

I've decided to update my progress on my handstand.  I've got one leg up, whoot! whoot!  My girls helped me out with this shot and they encouraged me the whole time.  "Come on mommy, you can do it!"  I did it three times so that they could get this one shot for me. I feel so much stronger at Yoga class. I've been doing Yoga for three and a half months now.  I'm come to the point where I really enjoy it. :)

So why is this blog entitled, "this too shall pass ?"  I had a moment of clarity these last few weeks.  I've used the phrase, "this too shall pass"  numerous times to encourage myself and others during difficulties.  But really the happy times pass too, they come and go, just like the difficult times.  Life ebbs and flows it always has and it always will.  I thought my ultimate goal was this state of blissful, happiness on a daily basis but I've come to realize that is not my goal.  I sure can appreciate/enjoy the happy times. But if that is not the goal then what is? I'm not too sure yet and that's okay because I will continue my journey to discovering what the goal is.
