As inspired and motivated as I was a month ago to maintain my new blog, it soon became clear to me how easy it would be to fall off the bandwagon. Like anything else that’s worth doing, it takes effort (surprise, surprise) and thought, both of which can be difficult to muster at the end of a busy day. That’s why I’m so thankful to have found a supportive group of friends who also blog and are passionate about photographing their lives. With just a few words, they have encouraged me to keep up my new hobby, and are living proof of its rewards.
At the end of last year, I started saying one thing that I’m thankful for as part of our family dinnertime routine. While there are tens of things we’re subconsciously grateful for everyday, it feels so much more concrete to vocalize it. It’s a way of thinking that I feel passionate about instilling in Sydney, and hopefully we are setting a strong example for her gratitude.
Today, I am thankful for the fire that my friends have lit under me to continue photographing and blogging life’s little moments!
