{WW} time



You can’t take back moments, once you live them they’re gone… This song has been going through my mind ever since I got the word for this week. It’s the song our family walked out on at my dad’s funeral. It’s a song full of meaning and emotion for me. And it’s a good reminder to live in the moment, enjoy each gift of the day and thank God.

  • Listening to Alison, Jaxon and Wyatt jumping on the tramp, laughing and talking.
  • Wyatt proudly showing his ‘flower’ to anyone who will look and listen. It’s from Miss Audrey at the greenhouse just down the road and it’s going to get this tall! (lifts hand to his chest emphatically)
  • My favourite brown thrasher singing his heart out.
  • Wyatt pointing out a cloud that looked like above my coffee cup – sure enough a perfect steam picture.
  • PW’s drip beef cooking in the crockpot.
  • The look in Zach’s eyes as he explains to me how many hours he needs to work on the new shop this month yet to save up for his puppy/horse/quad/whatever he is currently dreaming about.
  • Combing Colby’s hair for ticks… he’s so grown up, there’s not much I do for him anymore.
  • Shopping grad shirts and jeans and shoes. He asks for so little when it comes to clothes and it’s a pleasure to hear his real thoughts.
  • Wind blowing. I always think of time flying by and we can’t see it.
