It's been a Saturday of recovering from long weekends and school weeks.
And you know what? It was really good. I almost feel guilty saying that... After talking with friends this week that have lost a loved one and have been facing so much through it all. After visiting with another friend who has spent the week in and out of docs for her beautiful baby girl; and in the midst of it all, while my heart hurts for her, we just love, and stand with them, and pray and trust that God really is bigger.
So instead of waving hello to guilt and settling into it's big and plush cushions, I'm waving goodbye, knowing that each and every moment, even the ones filled with snotty tissues, are ones to cherish, really cherish. I consider myself one who embraces even the smallest of moments, and then something comes along to remind me of how precious life is and I have to reevaluate. Sometimes the most beautiful things can come out of the dark. And sometimes, those dark moments make the good ones, the sweet ones we have with our family, look so much sweeter.
"There are two ways to live your life, one is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~Albert Einstein
I choose the latter.
So please, if you haven't yet today, tell someone you love them, sing a song no matter how off-key it may be, squeeze a little tighter with your next hug. Live like everything is a miracle.
After four days of a crashed computer, a BRAND NEW computer...I'm back. Moments are to be cherished, each one. Watch the little ones, not so little any more, but still little..they will teach us and humble us too.So much knowledge, so much compassion, so much yet to come.
