I think someone forgot to let Mother Nature know that it’s May…and that she may now turn off the heavy April showers and let the May flowers begin blooming! All the dark clouds outside should have me rejoicing since I’m submerged up to my hair follicles in editing. However…I would like to be rejoicing while submerged under my covers and in a deep late afternoon slumber {dreaming of my to-dos magically being checked off}! I know for some, naps are tabu. For me…it’s a small taste of nostalgic rejuvenation in my day…that all to rarely never occurs! I would gladly go back to the days of innocence, never ending belly laughs, crayons, finger paints, and nap time!! Thankfully, I have two precious little ones who I get to watch enjoy life’s simple and sweet pleasures! I’ll gladly and vicariously live through their sweet little happy moments!
When life hands you sweet happies…hold on to them! Tightly. remember them. often. treasure them. forever. This week my husband and I attended the funeral {or as we call them in the South, a celebration of life} of his Great Aunt Carol. Even though I never really knew Aunt Carol very well, I found myself smiling, laughing, and shedding tears as I listened to stories, memories and saw pictures of her life. It was a reminder to treasure the joys of life, love wholeheartedly those you hold dear, and to live a life worthy of legacy.
Coming home to work on Rachel & Bart’s Carillon Wedding® to blog, was another perfect reminder of these things! Their day was so richly blessed and full of sweet smiles, tender touches, and light hearted laughs with those that were close to to the two of them and loved them dearly! Their love and wedding day was a testament to the gift of life’s greatest joys!
