Self care is a buzzword I've probably heard to much of. It doesnt' mean I don't need it, but I hate to hear it. And your picture count is quite low ... I'm at 300,000 now, with 4TB of iCloud storage. No idea what that means other than the fact that I take FAR too many pictures of my kids (late blooming single father -- had my first kid at 42, second at 44; 50 now raising two girls by myself). But you know, it's pretty freakin' awesome. I take pics because I want them to know the things that tickled my fancy. Yeah, they may poo poo it when they get older. But I hope they have some perspective into me because of it. Yeah, they'll have over a hundred journals to read through, but if that doesn't tell them about their dad, then, well, nothing will. All of this to say ... just do shit you like. If your kids aren't here, do it anyway and make sure they know and can find what you did. The best things I got from my dad were the amateur pictures and videos he took when I was a kid. It may not make sense to anyone else, but, damn, it makes sense to me and I figured out more of my dad from them than from anything else. And that is beautiful.
Nice pictures. I eschew pausing life long enough to snap pictures, but I do have many fond memories of sifting through old photos in real albums, getting to know the once living at a distance through the captured images.
Beautiful? Yes. But such a meager reflection of the fullness of reality.

Love.
300,000?!?
I clearly don’t love my kids enough. Lol.
