hard decisions

Sometimes life stinks, it is as simple as that. But another thing about life, is that it goes on. With or without us. We can choose to fight it or roll with the punches, but either way it won’t stop for us.

I recently had to make some hard decisions. Decisions, that I was not happy about and still am not at complete peace with, but what can you do? Two months ago, I had to make the decision to shut the portrait side of my photography business down.

Yes, already.

Going into reopening my business, I had no clue the effect it was going to have on my body. I could not figure out how to be both a portrait photographer and a wife/mommy at the same time. I could either be there for my clients or I could be there for my family. The physical stresses of the sessions and the long hours sitting at my computer editing took their toll and intensified my bone pain. The pain resulted in me taking a muscle relaxer and being down for HOURS. You might as well kiss that day goodbye. And possibly the next.

Not cool.

That just does not work, having an active tween and a husband that although he does everything in his power to pick up the slack, has a kooky schedule.

These people, these crazy people are the ones that come first and always will.

Hard decisions come with the territory of being a wife, mother and cancer patient sometimes. Some are just harder than others.
