Days Go By...

Every day seems to blend together here in our quiet corner of the world. The dishes are never done, the laundry piles up, and the kids won't settle for anything but my undivided attention. Sometimes I feel like I'm just keeping the peace... making sure everyone is fed and happy. But there's this nagging feeling that maybe I should be doing more, being more. I miss the old me, you know? The one who was out in the world, chasing dreams and building a career. It’s hard to look back at my photos from before and not feel like they belong to someone else... someone braver, stronger. But then I hug the kids close and forget all about that person for a moment. Because right now is real too, isn't it? And no matter how many days blend together or how lonely these moments can be, there's always tomorrow...
