Happy Friday!!!

So I had one of those weeks.   One of those weeks where the smallest thing was just eating away at me.   Something I have no control over, sometimes people just aren’t kind.   Plain and simple.   It was nothing to do with photography or my business….. just life.

So as the week went on I got to thinking….   I’m never too proud to admit I’m wrong, to face problems head on, to figure it out.   That is how I have always been.   Still, not solution, no control.   All I can do is try.

Then today, being FRIDAY, I had on my happy friday earrings that my hubby got me, I went work as usual.   Got to work all groggy, saw my dear friend Jenna, and we went to check our mail.   I must have stopped and had at least FIVE conversations in that small 100 yard walk and back where people were incredibly KIND.   I realized how much I have to be thankful for.   Those small relationships, and small acts of kindness go so far and mean so much.   Monica especially just made my day, offering maternity clothes, talking about my blog, and just being so simply KIND.   My heart was full after that and I realized…sometimes that is the only skill in the world that really matters.

I can’t control mean people, rude people, or hurtful people.   But I can be kind, and appreciate all of those around me who are so sweet, and smile, and bring a little joy into my life.   I’m pretty darn lucky to have so many wonderful people.

No one knows kindness better than my husband.   I can’t wait to raise our kids that way too.

Have a great weekend and be kind to others….. because it matters.
