+ Wheat field � Found a gorgeous spot and lucked out with a perfectly clear morning for a sunrise family session this weekend. Drooling over the images we got. My little photographer heart is bursting!

+ Wedding � Attended a beautiful wedding downtown (reception at the Driskill!) and was blown away by all the gorg white flowers. The place was dripping with them. Lovely.

+ Waffle � Ate a Belgian waffle with a friend Sunday morning, and talked about photography and blogging and crazy people in our lives and� you know, all the good stuff.

On a completely unrelated note, I�ve been feeling envious lately. Now, I�m really not a jealous person. I�m happy for people when I see good things happening in their life, and I�m fairly confident in most ways, so I don�t compare myself to others much. But lately, I�ve been feeling a bit green. Envious of people with �normal� lives (i.e. husband not in school, able to get going on starting a family, etc). Envious of fancy vacations. Envious of photographers with years more experience then me. Etcetera.
But I would like to, right now this very minute, denounce that envy. Jealousy is such a waste of energy. Reminds me of something I wrote a long time ago on Envy vs. Admiration, and I need to remember that. It�s OK to admire others, and be inspired by them. Inspired to change your routine and exercise more, inspired to work hard so you can afford that vacation you�d love to take, inspired to buckle down and study and practice the shit out of photography stuff (or whatever you love) so you can be a seasoned veteran one day, too.
Envy can either eat you up inside and make you feel less-than, or can be channeled into a driving force that fuels you and keeps you inspired and developing as a person. It�s so important to continuously steer your soul in that latter direction, don�t you think?
Anyway, random. Happy Monday, everyone. :)
