OK, excuse the fuzziness and bad shadow in the picture...I'm not the best photographer, but I had to post a picture of Mia, the butterfly fairy. She got the costume as a Christmas gift from her cousin, and spent about 10 minutes jumping on the bed while watching herself in the mirror--perhaps in her eyes she was flying. I took quite a few pictures of her because she seemed so blissfully happy and in such a beautiful, pure way. I love the way children can experience bliss from seemingly little things. For a moment, I wished I could go back to being a kid. No responsibility, ignorance, 12 hours of sleep...oops, that's the mom speaking out there! I guess what I remembered and tried to take to heart was that I need to make sure I find joy in the little things of life. It's too easy to get mowed over with, well, life. I need to slow down and enjoy the little things. And as a mom, sometimes that just consists of watching my girls enjoy the little things of life.

I just thought I'd stop by since I've been missing in action lately, and wow! You went from Blah-ging to Awe-ging! You've been busy! Ok, I'm inspired, I need to blog again. I think I need the outlet... but what to blog about!? hmmm.....
BTW, I love the pic, shadow and all! You really captured the bliss! And you're so right, about the little things.... well said! :)
When I was young, the smallest trick of light,
Could catch my eye,
Then life was new and every new day,
I thought that I could fly.
I believed in what I hoped for,
And I hoped for things unseen,
I had wings and dreams could soar,
I just don't feel like flying anymore.
