Back to What I Love...

Philippians 3:13
"Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead..."

I just might be taking this out of context, but I am going to consider Paul's words as I blog from now on.

I get so hung up on backtracking and catching up on all the things that I haven't blogged on, that I just put my computer and pictures aside until a "better time."

Someday...at that "better time"...I will catch up on all the birthdays, special events, and memorable moments that I haven't recorded.

Guess what.
You already know what I'm going to say.

A "better time" never comes.
And...as I look ahead, I see so many more opportunities to record special memories on my blog.
Now I'm in a real pickle.
Do I go back and try to catch up, or do I take a deep breath and continue forward.

This is not a new dilemma.
It is one that rears its ugly head every so often.
Life is full, and I don't always leave time for quiet reflection.

I'm going to start making that time again...with no room for guilt.

I know I've said this all before.
Let's see how far I get this time. :)

So...
for today I'm going to share with you some of life's simple pleasures.
A few quiet things that I'm thankful for.

Sweet music played by a sweet girl...
