Although I sometimes get aggravated at those who complain about every season and every occasion, never happy with the 'now', I'm guilty of some of that---at least in focusing on living in the moment. It's that elusive little butterfly for me. I spend a lot of my time alone...with my dogs most of the time. Later I remember just the simple vague memory upon memory of those times. Will they sustain me when these pets of mine are gone? Am I truly appreciating each moment of these sweet afternoons outdoors and the cuddly mornings on the bed? I simply struggle to "BE" in the moment because I DO know it can vanish in a second.<br /><br />Debbie-you know I love you and we go way back. I get the feeling you are still shell shocked from the losses you suffered so young. I hope your faith gives you comfort, your children give you love and your friends support. With your husband---I pray for a lifetime friend.<br /><br />Jane xxxxBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872723695093159979.post-1621981874537590132015-07-18T16:26:00.318-07:002015-07-18T16:26:00.318-07:00Hello Dear, I timely word...

When we are young we all think we will live forever; But forever here on this earth is not His plan. You my friend have had a hard season and I am sure much grief. But in it all you have a deep peace that abides and you know where to go in every situation that has come your way. I do not think that sorry and shock ever really goes away. But it does teach us to number our days. And I always get frustrated with myself when I wish even a moment away.<br />I loved reading this!<br />Love, because He first loved me...

The days slip by so quick and there is never a "do over" like you said. There is always a blessing in each day if we stop long enough to realize, listen and be thankful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful post and your words of wisdom. You are always a blessing.<br />Have a nice weekend my friend.

Life is fleeting and I've learned to be very thankful for each day. The pictures and the words today fit together so nicely. Beautiful thoughts for sure and so true.

I do however try to live in each moment now, that I see how fast it goes. I love all your beautiful pictures* I am so sorry you experienced such loss at such a young age.

I can only begin to imagine how difficult that must have been. So true about rushing thru life, seasons, etc. It can be so hard to just "be" in the moment, and really appreciate what is in front of us. Especially during those trying seasons of our lives.
