Keeping "Small" Things "Small

Those of you who read my blog on a regular basis have heard before that I usually set aside an hour or so on Saturday mornings to take my blog pictures for the week. The stars need to align perfectly for the pictures to happen. The light needs to be good (either overcast or a soft shadow), the weather needs to be good (no wind, rain, etc), and I need to be having a good hair day. I know it sounds ridiculous, but if I don't like my hair in the pictures, I don't like the pictures.

This last Saturday it started to rain just as I began to take the pictures for yesterday's post. So, it was obvious the stars weren't aligning for me. In the past this has happened and I have spend way too much time trying to take pictures that have turned out horribly, or rearranged my schedule to try to take them at another time. Definitely not a good use of my time. Then I looked at the outfit I had planned to take pictures in and thought, "Haven't I worn that on the blog before? Yes, yes, I have." So, the pictures below are actually from my archives. I did actually wear this same outfit to church on Sunday, but the pictures are from last summer.

Sometimes we can have a tendency to blow things out of proportion. But I think it's important to keep the small things, small. There are a lot more important things to worry about then me not being able to take pictures for my blog, which is a hobby. I actually had a reader email and ask why I didn't share new posts daily. I laughed out loud when I read it. This is a hobby, not a full time job, and it definitely shouldn't cause me to put more important things in my life in the backseat.
