Do you ever have those days where you just know that there is no possible way you can get to everything that you need to? Is it possible to be everything to everyone? Your husband, your kids, your business, your friends. let alone yourself? My answer to you is no. It is not possible. At least not every day.

This time of year is busy for me. For all Photographers. If you price yourself inappropriately in your market (ie too low) you are no doubt drowning in family photography sessions wondering why it is that you thought you wanted to be a photographer in the first place. It is easy to go into survival mode and forget to slow down and smell the roses, or the family Christmas tree that you just lugged home to decorate.

My 13 year old daughter who is fearless in everything she does was riding a 4 wheeler at our families property on Thanksgiving when she lost control and rolled it over her leg. One minute we were sitting on the back porch enjoying the day and then next we were in the ER assessing the damage. Of course when something like this happens you immediately get down and your knees and thank God that it was only her leg. Legs heal. Since they did not see the break in the ER we were sent home to wait until Monday when the Orthopedic Surgeon was open. She is in a cast now and on the road to recovery but needless to say I missed several valuable work days.

So today I choose to stop and recognize that life happens and I choose to give my self a break, breathe deeply and know that today, I am not superwoman. Maybe tomorrow.
