Life sometimes is like spinning plates
Each plate a different part of our lifes’ that we keep trying to spin smoothly
There are moments when they are all spinning true and straight
But most of life there are always those wobbling plates on the side of our vision
As we focus on those plates in front of us, or the ones that demand most of our attention
And then there are times when all hell breaks loose
And plate upon plate come crashing down
When the dust settles, we start spinning new plates to get our lifes’ back in order

So true. And, I remember when you saw a person who could spin those plates at a carnival that it was considered quite a talent. Who knew what we’d be spinning in 2013. 🙂
This describes parenting perfectly, too. I keep trying to keep all the plates spinning… Great pictures, by the way.
