Photos of the day - day five
A good ad
Travel with a friend means
you get the chance to get
this kind of shoot
Another good ad
Please, mam,
One is surely not enough for me.
Doing the journaling
while waiting for boarding
Welcome to the IPad era
Her bed stand
Sweet dreams, sweet heart
This boy is training his cat
to pray with him
My bed stand gets ignored
by the IPad.
My husband really is the one
who must be responsible for this madness.
......But the biggest mistake I made is
the one that most of us make while doing this.
I did not live in the moment enough.
This is particularly clear now
that the moment is gone,
captured only in photographs.
There is one picture of the three of them
sitting in the grass on a quilt
in the shadow of the swing set
on a summer day, ages 6, 4 and 1.
And I wish I could remember
what we ate, and what we talked about,
and how they sounded, and how they looked
when they slept that night.
I wish I had not been in a hurry
to get on to the next big things :
dinner, bath, book, bed.
I wish I had treasured
the doing a little more
and the getting it done
a little less.
