a simple shot for today. This is an antique birdcage, but it doesn't have a bird in it, if you are wondering. 
Somehow I think my photos end up mirroring my thoughts of the day without even trying!
Lately I have had a little more time on my hands, and I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I enjoy my time off, yet it seems as though when I have more time, I have more time to think. And then somehow my thoughts become more discouraging than encouraging. So, I have discovered that I like to be busy. But I am going to work on that because I want to enjoy the busy times as well as the times to rest. And when times get busy, I automatically hope for rest. Wow, humans are complicated, huh? Anyway, lately I am learning to be content. Content with life, content with the present and not looking always at the future. It is a hard lesson to learn, but I feel like just recently I started to (yet, like today, it is a constant battle) enjoy my life now instead of being eager for the future to come. That is how we should be living, in the present. Because that IS all we have. I leave the future up to God's Will. My life is all His anyway.
