where I want to be

in a café rue Montorgueil, wiping up the balsamic vinegar dressing on my plate with a piece of bread, chatting with my best friend from kindergarten, holding a glass of wine, wearing my favorite t-shirt, with my sunglasses on and Polaroid camera loaded with film.

I have to admit. making choices lately that are in the best interest of my family but not necessarily mine has been one of the most difficult things that I've had to do. and staying up all night on the bathroom floor cleaning up vomit has not really helped me put things into perspective.

but I know. soon, my boys will launch themselves from the couch and play ping-pong on the dinning table. soon, I'll accept the fact that I did the best I could with the resources I had at the time, be inspired again, and affirm that there is always more to life than we realize.

I know, soon, I'll be there.

Oh, Irene, how beautiful, how warm and welcoming this image is.
And oh yes, motherhood can be so very demanding - but those two healthy, happy boys are your finest creation and your most worthwhile project! :-)

love the title of this post, Irene...because we can often spend lifetimes wondering WHO we want to be...when often the more apt question is WHERE. lovely post. xo
