Such is Life

day eighty five
09.13.2011

I let myself down on this day. It was late at night, drowsy from the busy day,  I felt my heart sink as I realized that I forgot to take photos for my 94 Days of Summer project. How could I have forgotten? 

I was faced with the inner negativity that I failed, afraid that it would halt me in my tracks. And then I decided, I would not let this little hurdle stop me from finishing what I set out to accomplish. So instead of sharing a photo for the day I'm sharing some of my typography. A lovely quote from Doris Day's signature song. A song I remember my mom singing to me when I was a girl. With a meaning so simple yet so powerful. For on this day I learned a lesson in letting go, persevering in the shadow of disappointment and surrendering control. 

Such is life, I told myself, whatever will be, will be. It's time I open myself up to the notion that not everything is perfect and that we don't always know how things will turn out. Que sera sera.
