wistful

sometimes i find myself wistful and a little bit sad when i realise, im spending more time burrowed in books on my free time (when not working for my livelihood), instead of going out and enjoying the sun, and taking photographs.

and then when i realise that i'm already on the verge of my end goal, i stop being sad. i know, when i finish being too busy for photography, i will have ample time (and focus) to do exactly just that.

for the meantime, i sit, (read and work) and practise patience.

soon, i will reap my rewards.

how about you? are you holding out for something?

whatever it is, wait it out with me..we will soon be given our dues.

i feel for you Chel... hapit na imong pangandoy, i am sure. am praying with you.

and as for me, i don't wanna sound like a bad mommy but there are sooo many things i want to do, work/business-related-wise, but i can't because our kids are way too young to have a mommy who is always away.

and before i seem like an ingrate [err, too late, but anyway] , i am extremely grateful for the blessing of not needing to do the required 8-hour grind to help with the finances.

but, real talk: i sooo want to improve the restaurant and accommodation side of our family business and i'm begging God that it will not be too late when i am ready to take on the work.

hi chelo, i was actually thinking of the same thing: how i wish i had time to take photographs. i haven't touched my camera for more than a month now! my sons are growing up undocumented. =)

wishing you more time for photos chelo, and everything else that you love to do. *hugs*

@Chiara: count your blessings chiar that you dont have to be like us, who has to work for our livelihood and what youre doing is for the love of it, you are still rewarded in the end...but i know what you mean, you are doing it, for the love of the business and it doesnt make you less of mommy..you know what they say, a happy woman is a happy mommy=)

im kind of like you..i would still want to work even if money is not an issue..first, because i dont have any excuse as i dont have any children, and secondly, doing what i do makes me feel human, and makes me grounded. i see so many people everyday that remind me, i need to be grateful for the everyday i get to see, and for the every moment i spend with my love ones..having no reason to wake up to, is the worst feeling, i think..

right now, im having problems prioritising and juggling work and university duties..and with that, no time for hobbies..right now, sa peking order of things, the hobby is put last,haha..but thats ok..i can see the light at the end of the tunnel now=)

stay lovely as you are chiara=)

@patricia: hello my soul sister..you know what, i keep thinking i missed your birthday, but i havent..i thought i forgot to greet you,thank goodness not at all,haha..

hahaha, you know what, i feel so neglectful of my hobbies..photography, blogging, and (some others i dare not print here,lol)..i cannot seem to find enough time to make it worthwhile..i am so busy at work and university, my heart aches thinking of all the good and yummy things i cannot pick up for the meantime..

dont worry patricia, i think you will get over that busy-ness soon..just like..and enjoy your time with your parents and your lil boys who i must say, is a sin, if you dont pick up your camera for them..

but i know..needs must..but we will be doing the things for our soul soon=)

missing you=)
