im trying to hold onto quiet moments as they happen. they seem so rare, but i wonder if it is just that i can't seem to quiet my own mind these days? it wanders restlessly from place to place, and i can't seem to settle on any one thing. i keep pulling out my work, only to leave it sitting where it is. i keep reminding myself to walk quietly and purposefully through each day... but it doesn't seem to be working. i feel instead as if i am pushing against everything, only making it more difficult. i certainly forget this reminder when it comes to my children. i know everything needs more time to settle but it's not an easy path.

It's as if you were talking about ME in this post. I'm blaming PMS. ;-)
Sometimes you just have to let life happen and take time to reflect like you did here! Kids travel at a fast pace - as do kittens! Make quiet time a part of each day - for all of you. Even if you aren't in the silly suburbs where families are scheduled every minute - your mind can be pushing you to keep busy, busy. Don't listen! Deep breath!
oh i love quiet time!
that second picture is truly magical!!
we all need to remember to take a few moments to just -be- , to do nothing, to slow down.
thank you for reminding me. <3
