Grateful at work

My job?

Where do I begin? The list is long and endless. I'm always on call and even at times when I feel like I don't have any energy to go on.  But when this happens my bosses always seem to find ways to revise me. With their bright smiles. My little bosses command a lot from me. I am always on call. Never have sick days and at the end of the week I don't get the honor of a paycheck. Or the option to clock out. I take them out for adventures and we explore the grandest things on a daily basis. They bless me with expanding my horizon. By opening my eyes to the simplicity of life. 

I hold many positions. I am a cook, dry cleaner, maid, personal shopper, stylist, manager, boss, nurse, cab driver, host, party planner, spouse,Photographer, business owner, referee and the list goes on. I take pride in each hat I wear. The great thing about my job is that my days are never the same. I always have to stay in the state of being. While having things planned out. I also find that I know when to let plans fall apart so others can fall into place. I mean how wonderful is it to see my little bosses smile from ear to ear and giggle out loud . It echoes tingles up my body. A sense of fulfillment. Bringing joy to them and slightly remembering that these moments are precious memories being made. That it is not just a day of rushing for the hours to pass by. But letting the joys of the days consume you. For my job as a mom. Is to not only be there for them. But to be the guider. So they have memories that build them up and when times are rough for them I give them a sense of comfort. For my job is not so simple. It is not something that you can truly explain into exact words at times. But I will try to bring you a vision of how my job is.

Imagine. Going your days ,your nights and your weeks. Being three of you. Then multiply that by infinity. Its a feeling of being stretched to your greatest limits. Then a slight reminder will always stumble upon you reminding you. That you are something super. That what you are doing is grand. Its not something that someone may compliment you on. Nor something that you will get an award on. A raise? not in dollar form. But it gives you a sense of knowing that what you are doing is something beyond anything more that you can imagine. A feeling of knowing that you are in need. That you can not just give up. That you are 100 needed every moment of the day. You are not only a purpose of your life. But you are a purpose of others lives. I find many joys and sorrows in motherhood. At times that title gets little recognition. In a day that having it all means going to your 9-5 job and sending your kids to be raised by others. We took the chance of doing it the way that we found was best. I don't have a 9-5 job. My job is 24/7. And 99 percent of the time I would not change it.

The other percent of the time . I manage our photography business. Which brings me great joy.  I can go on an on about that but my pictures mostly speak for themselves.

Poem


I came here to show you how the light shines
for this thing called photography is all due in time.

I've pushed and pulled at all my hearts desires
for it is what my soul desires.

its going to be in bright lights soon.

Making people shine .
in a photo ever so Divine

you wanna know my name?
its going to be in bright lights soon.

Showing you what I have
giving you all that I got

Cause its my time to shine.

You wanna know my name?
Its going to be in bright lights soon.

I'm determined and focusing in..
watch out world

Your going to know my name
lights camera actions
