Thankful Tuesday-
Tell me what you're thankful for below.
"I'm not everything I want to be yet, but I am a lot of things I wanted to be two years ago, and what a wonderful thing it is to stop and realise that."
I'm thankful to stop and realise how accomplished my business is now. How much I have grown as a person and a business woman, and how my connections in the agricultural and rodeo industry have grown. I went from second shooting a rodeo and waiting almost 6 months for the opportunity to shoot at another one, to being booked every weekend this year. Sure... some gigs have been hit or miss, some weren't making me a ton of money, and I have definitely had some hiccups this year. However, 15 or 16 year old me would have never thought I would be traveling across Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia... and other places every weekend to document stories like these. I'm thankful I'm not everything I want to be yet, but that I am on the right track to get there.
I'm thankful that I am FINALLY kicking my math class's butt. For those who don't know, I was very good at math in highschool but the transition to an exam heavy college class... made me struggle. I have been taking the class over the summer and am finally doing better. Which... I needed.
I am thankful that I am surrounded by people who love me. My family, my friends who call me just to check in or make fun of my driving skills or bring puppies to rodeos, but also rodeo families at barns who stop and ask how I am, offer me advice and reassurance, and book me outside of just rodeos.
I'm thankful for God's timing and plan... because it's unraveling to be greater than I could have ever imagined. 🤍
What are YOU thankful for? -->
