I chose this...
Tonight I only have a finite amount of energy. I'm excited for what I hope to be an 8 hour long nap. I imagine that constant feeling of I'm so tired will slow down once the kids get a little older...but I don't want to wish my future on me now-- so I will relish these- I'm so tired I don't make any sense types of moments...
One day I won't have itty bitties who think 6am is a perfectly acceptable time to wake up...especially the morning after I was up editing pictures until midnight the night before. Especially especially when the husband was out of town...
I want to live a good story...and sometimes good stories are hard to live out loud... I frequently equate our Life to a story...a concept I got from reading my favorite book in the World... A Million Miles in a Thousand Years I love to read, and there have been many books I have read that I just can't put down...but this is the only book I couldn't put down and couldn't get out of my mind- even now, years later.
It's a true story about a guy-Donald Miller who wrote a best selling memoir...and some folks wanted to make a movie of his memoir...so Miller helped to write the screen play...But in order to make his life story more interesting and a better movie- they had to add more heart- more risk- more loss- more love...and it made Donald realize just how easy it is to write a good story...and if we know the elements that go into writing a good story...
Why not just live that good story?
And so in order to write a better story-he started to actually live a better story.
At first while Doodle was taking a bath- Grey and his beloved tripod just hung out and watched...
I decided I wanted to pour myself into Mom'ing tonight (actually spellcheck- Mom'ing is not a mispelled word)... So I grabbed Grey...and we both got in..
Worth it...
Hey- look! Bath- check...writing -check... I love it when that works out.
What would the movie of You look like? It's never to late to start living a good story...
