I postponed packing for as long as I possibly could. But it’s not like that’s any different from what I usually do, I always wait until the very last second to gather my things for a trip. I don’t mean to do it and I hate my procrastination issues but this time, it was different. I purposely tried to do everything I could to avoid packing for WPPI(Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). I was dreading feeling lost and overwhelmed surrounded by thousands of photographers, all I could think about was how I would avoid the awkward moments that I had gone through the year before. It was as if I thought that if I didn’t pack, the trip would magically disappear and life could go on. Eddie reminded me that our hotel room was already paid for and there was no turning back. I accepted the fact that I could not change things and decided to pack an hour before it was time to go.
It’s Tuesday morning and as I sit on our hotel bed typing this and thinking about my previous feelings about WPPI, I feel so grateful, relieved and incredibly happy that Eddie didn’t let me back out of our trip. My opinion about this whole trip has completely transformed. Yesterday was crazy amazing and beyond anything I could ever expect or imagine. I don’t know how I looked last night as I dozed off to sleep, but I’m sure I had a smile on my face. I realized that even though I could not change the trip or the plans, I could change my attitude towards the whole situation. I realize that may sound completely cheesy but I’m ok with that because it’s true and it made all the difference for me.
These next few pictures from our recent trip to Yosemite have nothing to do with Las Vegas or anything I just wrote about, but posts without pictures are kinda’ like dinner without dessert. And dinner without dessert is, well, simply unacceptable.
Have a beautiful day!
