the speed of life...

i think too little or too much.

lately, life has been a flurry of screaming activity. i've done two wedding shoots and two engagement shoots. i've barely even started to edit the weddings and that is looming.

my cousin is getting married this weekend, so i'm off to chicago on a road trip with one of my best friends for a long awaited union.

then i come back to town, do another practice wedding and then THE wedding.

then i get on a plane for maine.

plus, let's not forget i've got one crazy full-time job.

in the midst of all of this have been celebrations and friends in pain, relationships beginning and ending, and my constant struggle to find balance and deal with my health.

in fact, this summer has been particularly frenetic and my processing time has been close to nil.

i've met some folks who have forced me to pause, to truly appreciate. i've learned to say no more than ever and learned to say yes to the right things. however, i was bullied into a moment on my drive home one night that will go down as one of the top ten of all time.

one thing has remained through all of this blustering newness and spontaneous delight... an undercurrent of sadness and loneliness. but, it's written somewhere that time heals all wounds.

i'm moving on. there are new joys and new friends and the past is growing smaller in the rear view mirror.
