What We Carry - Both Visible and Invisible

What do you carry on a weekly basis?



Purses - As women, most of us carry purses, loaded down with all of life's necessities.

Laundry - There is always too much of it, but it must be done.

Fresh Produce - For those of us lucky enough to have a local Farmer's Market, we can carry home fresh produce.

Shopping Bags - Filled with items needed either for us or for our family.

Groceries - Every week we carry groceries into the house from the car, another life necessity.

There are many things that we carry that are Invisible as well...

Children - We carry our child/children in our hearts always.

Passion - We carry our passions deep inside of us.

Dreams - There are so many things we dream, but yet are afraid to share.

Tension & Stress - Women carry a lot of tension and stress in their necks and shoulders.

Fear - We carry fear like a heavy weight around our necks, the fear of what ifs...

What are you carrying this week?

Lovely post and great photos. I am carrying the weight of sadness and of uncertainty. I am also carrying a kernel of possibilities that my life ahead may bring. Time will tell.

Lovely words and images...I am carrying too much stress and worry! I tend to do that and must constantly remind myself to take it one day at a time. Thanks for sharing, Sarah - your LR photos turned out wonderful.

Fantastic post Sarah I sometimes I feel as if I'm carrying such a huge load and it's all rubbish that has to be peeled off like an onion skin...

What an interesting way to think about all we carry! I carry lots of laundry for sure and lots inside too. Wish I could toss some of those invisible things into a laundry basket sometimes too!
