moment by moment


time moves fast, wouldn't you agree?  it doesn't matter how fast i run, time is always moving faster.  this is something i have to come to terms with.  i can't control time too.

yet, here i sit, using up precious time to post on this blog while i neglect the much needed attention my home is begging for.  oh well. priorities.

how do you make the most of your time?  my answer; by relishing in the small, quick moments.  the ones you'll soon forget and never get back.  like observing from the outside how you look as a mom, holding your toddlers hand, helping him across the street.  he trusts me.

by paying attention to every one of their facial expressions offered as they learn something new.


by applauding unsuccessful efforts and encouraging practice.

by teaching them to read about important things.


i'm grateful for every moment and look forward to the moments ahead.

Aw. I totally agree. Although, I have to remind myself to SLOW DOWN! I love the pictures on this post as well. And your priorities.

Your photography is beautiful. Take a look at Blurb - you might try publishing a family book of your blogs and photos.

Yep, time flies by way too fast. I love your answer to making the most of your time. It's true. You rock.
Time definitely goes by way to fast! I guess we all need to cherish the NOW moments!
