On being quiet...

I’ve noticed that for the last couple (read lots and lots) of weeks it seems that my blog has morphed into a never ending series of baby photos!! It made me think about the reason for this blog. I normally explain to people that it is simply “about my life”. Here, I can share a little bit of my being with you, document our adventures and it gives me a great excuse to practice (and hopefully improve) my photography skills. 

But there is another reason. I am one of those “glass-half-empty” people. Yes, really, I am. And it irritates me more than you can imagine!! Luckily I am married to a “more-than-half-full” guy and between the two of us our glass is spilling over! So this blog is a great reminder that I live a beautiful life full of precious people, great adventures and that I am blessed. It is a hobby that allows me to notice the beautiful in everyday moments, things that I might not have observed if I wasn’t going to take photographs of it or write about it. 

Maybe I should not be surprised that the blog reflects that my days are currently all about motherhood. I am either driving Daniel around between school and his activities, or/and “keeping the baby alive” :-). My camera is gathering dust because I am just not a good enough photographer to make the school run interesting! But I love that I have my phone with me and that I can still use Instagram to capture things that interest me or moments that makes me smile (you can follow me on nanikornelius). 

So, that is my excuse for being a bit quiet on the blog at the moment! In case you were wondering....
