Monday's Musings: Do What You Love, Love What You Do

Do what you love by Mary Denman Photography

We frequently hear the quote, "Do what you love, love what you do", but have we taken the time to really think about it? Is it true?

I think it's very profound.

Why?

Well, let me tell you about a journey I've been on. Not a physical journey, but on a life journey.

It's about photography.

I've enjoyed photography for years and years. I had a point and shoot that I used all through high school. Then, a Minolta X-700. I have tons of printed photos from the years of my children growing up. Well, 1,378,964 shots of my first born to be exact, and then it went downhill from there for my other 4 kids. My fifth child has about 26 newborn shots. Maybe. You know, I was a little busy.

Monday's Musings: Mountaintop Memories can help in Valley Times

Mountaintop Memories by Mary Denman Photography

I don't know anyone who doesn't love a good mountaintop experience. A time where life if at it's fullest. Your work is going well. You get confirmation that you're on the right track. You know that God really does love you. 

We love being on the mountaintop. But we can't stay there forever. No matter how much we want. It always comes to an end.

And the only way to leave the mountaintop is by going down.

But this doesn't have to be a terrible thing.

Part of learning from a mountaintop experience is knowing how to leave and take it with us back down to the valley.
We can't take all of it. But we can take the memories.
