Sometimes, you get a photograph you weren't expecting. This was one of those times. I thought I'd just be getting a regular landscape shot when, instead, what came back through the lens was something closer to one of those vintage postcard paintings of the Grand Canyon.
Love that nature is just so beautiful when you are looking at it with the right attitude.
Life is like that as well, isn't it? Sometimes when you look at your own day to day through a different angle, it suddenly looks a whole lot better. Trying to keep a positive outlook can be tough, especially under adverse circumstances or in the midst of a busy run-around time. But it is important to try to do that for your own sake, as well as the folks around you.
At least that's what I'll be telling myself this week and next as the back to school season gears up at our house.
Predictably, things have gotten busy: the library clean-up and reorganization has begun in earnest, in advance of an open house next week; lesson planning has also begun; and we're in the middle of a home re-organization as well, as I work toward where I want things to be before the start of school.
All of the vacation photos certainly bring back that feeling of calm relaxation that we had along the journey. May have to put them up all over the house to keep that going. It's time to refocus a bit, but not lose the importance of balance.
That's an awfully tough thing to manage sometimes, isn't it?
