This Summer has been an interesting one for me … that is to put is mildly!  I am a glass half full type of person for sure and I’ve had to really be thankful to my family for raising me that way recently because so many crazy things have happened this Summer that I’ve had to draw on that outlook.  The reason why I wanted to share that is I really do believe that it is how you look at any situation that can make you learn from it and can make you actually appreciate why you are learning these things.  Life is good.  Life is good even when you have to deal with the death of those that you love so very much.  Life is good even when people steal from you … because you learn to be more safe and learn the precautions that you should take to make you more safe.  Life is good when you forget to pay important things because you are dealing with other things of life because it makes you be more proactive …. Life is good because of friends … Friends and Family that are always there for you in thick or thin and can laugh because you are laughing at how crazy it is!

This crazy Summer has put many things into perspective for me.  I’ve always felt that I appreciate the life that I have … but this Summer has really made me see the detail.  The small, ever so small sometimes, light and beauty in the things around us and I am thankful.  So very thankful.

I wanted to share some images from the other day when we were hangin’ at the pool, now … while they are not the most artist of images, they are a part of me … a part of me that I want to capture more and a new friend that I met recently really made me see that … he made me see that I need to capture my memories and my real life more … so I’m doing that and I thank him so much for that … something so simple that he shared about him that really made me look at me.  Thank you.
