Why is it that whenever my life gets busy- whenever times get tough and I really need a support system- I blow off the things that would me feel better? Making things and creating, whether it's taking photos or making yarn or knitting, all help to keep me sane and balanced and in good form.
Why can't I find time for the things that soothe me?
I miss my camera. I'm going to carry it with me wherever I go. For the rest of the summer. I don't know why I disregard myself when I need me the most.
Carrying it around with you all summer is a *great idea.* I wish I could find the nerve to do it myself. I always have my crappy cell phone on me for pictures, but they're never that great.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see what you snap pictures of throughout the summer with your spontaneous photography!
Taking pictures is so cathartic for me - absolutely carry your camera around with you always! You never know where of when that next great photo will happen.

It's one of those great ironies of life, isn't it? When you need something the most you find yourself least able to actually do it (for whatever reason).
ReplyDeleteFeelin it today. But such is life. Am about to attempt to take care of myself a little better...
I find carrying a camera, even a little point-and-shoot, really encourages me to look more closely at everything happening around me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful feeling to know that, at any moment, you can capture a little piece of the world and take it home with you in your pocket.
All those are letter-perfect symptoms of being a woman.
ReplyDeleteI needed this reminder - I've been so busy I've nearly stopped creating - and I miss it. My camera is going to work with me tomorrow.
