January is a sleepy month around here. The temperatures are below freezing. Lately we've had thick fog. It's the time we want to snuggle in ...

Photography is slow. And while I do still shoot, it's scaled way back, as most clients wait til spring. I use the time to rejuvenate. Bub is on a sports hiatis. Basketball ended before Christmas. It's a time to be,  perhaps jump into some home projects, enjoy quiet evenings as a family.

I celebrate my birthday this month. 43. Wow. I always thought by my 40's I'd have it all together. Ha! Was I wrong. While I know more now than when I was in my 20's, 30's or even last year, I'm still a long way from all together. But I believe we all are to some degree. Like a child, with each and every day, we learn, we grow, we become more of who God wants is to be ... as long as we are open to it. Life is all about that journey, not the end destination. With every experience, every trial, every success, we learn more about life, who we are, and who we should and want to be.

Grace. Peace. Content. Full.
Words that are on my heart.

For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content - Phil. 4:11
