Week 7 was a freebie for the Project 52. In keeping with my own general theme of MY SON, here’s a little gem I captured while he was on time-out at the harbor down in San Diego as I was scouting a location. It is SO hard to be upset with this child when he makes faces like this. I imagine him looking up to the heavens, thinking, “Are you there, God? It’s me, Atticus. Mom put me on time-out. Can I get a little help?” That little prayer must’ve worked because I let him loose after I saw how cute he looked on the LCD screen. What a stinker…

I’m a little behind in sharing my Project 52 photos on the blog. Nevertheless, here is my take on the theme “emotion” for week 6.
Before my son was born, emotions were just words I used to mask the reality of the apathy that lived inside of me. I was “happy”. I was “sad”. I was actually somewhere in between.
Then my little man came along and showed me that real, raw emotion exists. I never knew such joy and passion until he looked at me with those soulful gray eyes. I never knew fear for the future like I do now raising a child. I never felt such longing until I noticed my baby was a baby no more.
My son has defined emotions for me– the greatest of which is pure, unconditional, unabated love.

Week 5 has come and gone and I realized I forgot to post this image to the blog. The theme for week 5 was “simplicity”. It made me think about all the anxiety I give myself by constantly fretting over my laundry list of “problems”. It keeps me up at night and makes me feel hopeless.
And then I look at my son and I remember that life can be tough– but in the end, it is truly simple. I’m the mother to a beautiful child and that’s really all that matters. I am here to love him and teach him how to be compassionate, sincere, and honest.
Simplicity = me + my son. There is nothing more important in this crazy thing called life.
