Love The Moment

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.

Shining Through

Looking up through the leaves

I am intrigued by the sunburst that shines through the leaves

My attempt of a "close-up" of the sunburst :) 

This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today.......

~ Hermann Hesse

How thought provoking ..... every moment we live is a "once in a lifetime" moment - and will never happen again .... All the more reason to Cherish Every Moment

Live Fully in Each Moment

 Don't wish the days away
Love the moment you're in
Even when times are rough
There are still moments to be cherished
and
Wonderful memories to be made

Time with Mom

**Remembering a beautiful Summer Saturday spent with my mother before her illness. 

This is a shot of the Greenbrier River in Talcott, West Virginia. It was foggy, and my goal was to get a shot of the fog rising off of the river

While we were here, we stopped and listened to the birds. It is amazing the sounds you hear if you just stop......and listen.

Our next stop was in Lowell, West Virginia...a little community that borders Talcott. I saw this sign and asked Mom if this footbridge was still in use. She said she thought it was and proceeded to tell me that as a little girl, over 70+ years ago she used to cross this bridge. This is a bridge over the Greenbrier River.  She would have to walk across this when she visited her Aunt and Uncle 

I have to admit, I was a little scared crossing over this.

It had some partial slats missing...and I never should have looked DOWN

through one of those slats. Yikes...I was a little scared after that.

But Mom wasn't! She would have gone all of the way across.

One of the lessons I learned this weekend.

I need to STOP and LISTEN!

I'm sure my Mom has told me the story of her crossing this bridge before.

But I probably just didn't listen. This weekend I did.

And this memory I shared with my Mom I will never forget.

Treasure Every Moment

Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment.
