There's a lot Brewin' in the life of this second hand Smith. Fall is my favorite time of year even though the craziness in brown county and the shops sometimes are too much for any local. The vibrant colors are my absolute favorite.
This morning I woke up to the fresh scent of brewed coffee and a husband sleep talking. haa haa. Oddly enough I realized then how colorful my life really was. Just like this photo things can seem dark, but you have to focus in on the colorful part of life. Time in this life seems to travel quickly and if you don't focus, you will loose your life. I truly believe that we are all called to Greatness. That God created us for a purpose only we can fulfill. Will you tap into what you have and make your life count? Life doesn't have to be all dark. We have the choice to call it either way!
The best part of standing at these choices of what to do in our life is that we do not stand there alone. We are traveling through this great adventure. With, may I add, many family and friends who will help us a long the way and most importantly, Creator of the Universe and if we will let him, he will take us on a greater adventure than we ever could have imagined. But we must listen, and we must be willing to go where he leads. We must choose our adventure with strength and comfort found in the fact that we know God is guiding us in that way. I like to think of it as the “choose your own adventure books”.Ha.We must let go and trust in his perfect will for us, even if we do not understand the choices he has made for our life.

For those trying to make the shoe fit.......
Sometimes we have to look within and search our souls. Once upon a time people used to share their thoughts, ideas and encouragement with each other. They used to be real. Few people I know are real. Most (as I have) try to make the shoe fit, even if it doesn’t. They put that smile on there face and say “All is great” when inside there are not. Being real doesn’t exist to them. I'm done with trying to make the shoe fit and just being happy with what I have.
People used to sit on there porches for hours and talk about hopes, dreams, hurts, pain and not worry about what is to come next in the day or what time it was, but to simply just enjoy the presences of who you are with! Virtual world is taking over. It’s all about facebook message’s, myspace, txting. I’m guilty of it just as much as anyone. But I’m finding I don’t want to waist much time in this aspect of that world. When did people stop being real face to face? Or is it me who has hidden herself and not seen the realness of people until now? Because of this I think it’s hard to find something that speaks to your heart. And because that kind of beauty is so rare, it stops you in dead in your tracks every time!
I love to write. I understand the power of words that are spoken or written. How we hold on to those words, but for me; sometimes I can’t express how I feel. So lately, I’ve want to learn Photography. So I can release what’s inside into something beautiful. Something that will stop people and help them forget the world for once quick second and remember that this journey called “life” that were all on, can be a joyful, pleasing, experience. That God has a plan for each of us if we take time to notice the small things and take joy in them. For all we have is today.
Here are some pictures that I took and edited. Yeah, most of them are of me, but as I learn the different aspects of photography, the more I will do with the things of my heart.

Play to your your life to your own heart beat....
