It has been YEARS since I have made a post! I generally enjoy posting and hope to keep your attention :)
I imagine if you read about our family you know us well enough to know I am a therapist intern. I have been working with an amazing group at Wasatch Family Therapy in Salt Lake and Provo. It is an amazing thing to sit with someone and walk with them through their journey of pain and happiness. Most of the time we experience both pain and happiness through the relationships we cherish. I imagine some of you have felt a wide range of emotions with romantic relationships, familial relationships, and even professional relationships. I find that my energy is often recharged simply through interaction with people I love.
Bella and Dannielle are the first and deepest resource for energy and happiness. This is a beautiful picture of Bella from Saturday afternoon. Bella soaked her shoes with the hose so we sent her inside to change into her flip-flops. And this Vogue model returned to entertain…
Yes the boots are on the wrong feet and the pose is all natural, 100% Princess.
I'm sure we will have to buy Bella glasses someday, but these are just loaners.
Hmmm, who does she look like?
These two girls are quite the duo and keep me on my toes. We all have moments that are up and some that are down. Sometimes I am surprised at how difficult it can be to focus on the positive. I heard someone use the term "cyber-envy" this week and realized I had experienced that feeling. I see pictures or posts on Facebook, things on Pinterest and I find myself desiring a bigger house, nicer clothes, the ability to write with wit and proper grammar...I then close the screen and check back in to reality with a loving wife and and a daughter that believes I am the GREATEST man that has ever lived! Have any of you ever felt "cyber-envy"? How do you deal with it?

When I get cyber-envy I go get my tuba out of the closet and go downtown and beat up midgets.
I wanted to respond to this forever ago and totally forgot... I think it's totally normal to experience "cyber envy". Whenever I start to compare my life to others I see out there, and start to think something I have isn't good enough or should be better, I remind myself that I am seeing their "Sunday Best" and not their "Wednesday Worst". Then I look back at my blog, or facebook, and realize that I too show my "Sunday Best" and my life looks pretty darn good to others too. I'm not trying to hide the bad stuff, but I just don't think anyone cares about the time I stepped in dog poo, or the temper tantrum my daughter threw. I think the sooner we can all realize that nobody is perfect, and what we have IS good enough, the better off we all will be.
