Reflecting.

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

I had a rough day today.  Emotionally.

Worrying about my daughter’s self-esteem (I’ll be sharing more about that later).  Tackling my son’s academic issues (with a room full of teachers).  Soul-searching through/with/about my photography.  Did lots of homework and quality time with the kids in the evening (single-parented it tonight).

And you know what made me feel better?  No… not the pizza I ordered for myself this afternoon (which I took home to eat while I watched 90210 and laughed at the poor skinny girls the whole time. hee hee.) — although that certainly did help.

It was coming across these photos tonight.  From the night when our little guy fell in the water at the beach thereby cancelling our family photos… which at the time was a bad day too. 







or black and white?




They made me remember “us”.  I saw Molly’s smile and it made me smile.  I looked at Jack and remembered what a fabulous kid he is.  I saw some photos that I was proud of… that spoke to me.

And it’s all good again.

And I think I’ll use some of these for school pictures this year.  Probably not the one with the feet! ;)

Heather - Marcy - your photos are always so real and capture life as it happens. I love that. Hope today brings you lots to smile about. Thanks for sharing!

eva - And here I thought I had made you feel better. Shucks. LOL. ;)
Marcy, what we talked about...these photos are all the proof you need.

Monica - Marcy ... school/friend/academic issues with our kids are so entwined with who we think we are. Sometimes I just want to move my family to a desert island where none of that matters. :) Your photography is beautiful!! Your store is the BEST! And I always love reading your posts.

Leah Elias - Beautiful pictures! It's tough when you have kids in school, you just want them to fit. It hurts you when you know they hurt.
But it does pass, and the result is what you have....great kids!!

valerie - Oh Marcy...what a rough day. Things you need to remember...you are a wonderful mom, a talented photographer, and a great friend. This is what matters in the big picture :) Things will be looking up soon!

tam - praying that today is better! Don't let it get you down. Your children are beautiful and you capture them so well with your photography! You are very talented!
