Selfie City

I, once again, have decided to do one of those silly little social media Monthly Photo Challenges. This one is for obviously April.  You take one photo a day and its really cool because you can see what others perspective is on the theme.  Today's theme really hit home for me, but first, let me catch you up.

Day 1 #Selfie

Obviously, this is me. Doing my taxes in my STL Tea Party shirt. yes boobs too.

Day 2 #SomethingPink

At the age of Thirtysomething, i have a fascination with Hello Kitty and I have a T-shirt collections as well. A collection of two t-shirts is what I have but yes, a collection. 

Day 3 #Handwriting

Self Explanatory

Day 4 #BlackAndWhite

This is my youngest. My caption was,

 "Some days are really black and white. Some days there are shades. Minimalist approach can be a good thing. Like this morning."

Today's challenge really reminded me that taking each day and accepting it as what it is. It's just one day. Its one moment in time. I turned off the radio and talked with my son about his morning and what he was looking forward to at school. In a time when I am totally addicted to social media, it was really a smack in the face.  I am obsessed with wanting to touch others and helping others. Social media has helped that need, but at what expense to my children and MrGp?  I have really been making an effort to put my phone away. I don't have to capture everything in photo.  What my kids will remember is me being present without my phone in my hand. 

I am looking forward to tomorrows "challenge" . . its weather!  So I am sure I will find some narcissistic selfie way to adequately portray weather. :)
