Life is complicated. It usually isn\u2019t complicated because we have difficult situations. Rather, life is this way because we \u201cthink\u201d it is. We imagine, we assume and we totally take people\u2019s actions or non-verbal cues the wrong way. We often over analyze things people have said or not said and done or not done, so far beyond it\u2019s actual meaning, that we get lost in the intensity of our emotions and it can destroy our perception of reality or the situation. I just hate when this happens. I can\u2019t stand when I start to over analyze. Whether it is in work, family, love, or friendships, I go through a process that I\u2019m sure most of us all do too (well at least us girls). Eventually anger leads to frustration, which leads to more anger, then resentment and finally sadness. Recently I\u2019ve been trying to focus on just accepting that it\u2019s not me. It\u2019s my thoughts that control my life and I need to whip those babies into check. I am in control and what I say goes. So I say, Be happy! Live life as it\u2019s your last (but really). Enjoy what make you happy. Appreciate the good in everything (work, love, family, friends). Instead of giving up on something or someone I\u2019ve decided I\u2019m going to put more love and effort toward those things. Waving that white flag is just weakness and shows lack of character, lack or self-worth and total lack of kindness.I am not that. I am strong, caring, and motivated. A complicated life is an unhappy one. I\u2019m posting this quote that I found on Pinterest<\/a>\u00a0because I\u00a0think it sums up what I\u2019ve rambled on and on about into a perfect little blurb. And what makes me happy besides my family and friends is photography. I love capturing the present. Photography does not complicate things, it only makes me happy that I can share my talent with others.<\/p>\n

Below are photos taken from our little trip to Palm Springs last weekend. I love me some Palm Spings!:)<\/p>\n
