331/365
Well Charissa volunteered to wear the hat for me today. It’s actually my husband’s hat and Charissa doesn’t play the guitar but we thought this all looked kind of cool together with the snow falling.
Today I noticed that sparkleplenty completed her 365, I also realized today that she’s married to JordyR. I read both their posts today and was struck by how much he encouraged her in her journey of photography and ultimately her journey of discovering more of who she is. I think I was struck by this so much because my husband has encouraged me as well. I haven’t done a year of selfies but a number of the selfies I’ve taken my husband has helped me. And any time that my shots didn’t go as planned or if I was having a hard time getting my minds picture into the camera and I’d get frustrated, I’m sad to say my husband would get the brunt of it. The pressure of getting the right shot, at the expense of what. So at times he’s put up with a lot and I keep telling myself the next one will be different and even if the shot isn’t working out, I’ll work on my attitude and not take everything out on him. I know this is an area where I need to change and when I read Jordy and sparkleplenty’s posts it really hit me and I thought to myself okay, I have thirty-four more days to try and do it right. I guess what it comes down to is working as a team and when things don’t work out you don’t take it out on your teammate, you try and solve the problem together. And so maybe that’s the root of my problem, I try and do life alone and I don’t always accept the help or input of my husband especially when things aren’t working out. It’s like in life the times I should most need him and go to him for help/support are the times when I pull away into myself and try and do it alone.
So even though I don’t know Jordy or sparkleplenty and haven’t really followed their steams a whole lot, I’m thankful that today I read their posts and was encouraged to try and do better with my husband the next time he comes out to help me…because that is my heart.
