Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

Well we have had a busy weekend around these parts. My husbands sweet grandmother passed away on Friday, it was not a big surprise more a blessing really, she had suffered for so long. I am in charge of making a DVD slideshow of her life, and it has occurred to me how much things change in a lifetime. I love the sweet picture of her in the school house with the girls wearing their fanciest dress, with the boys in overalls. It seems almost like a different world. Sometimes I wonder with all our progression in technology, if we are going forward or backward? I hope that the generations after me, will still enjoy simple pleasures of playing bear feet outside, watching a seed grow, feeding animals, simply finding joy beyond technology and media.

ReplyDeleteIt's sad to lose a loved one of course. But sometimes it's better for them to go home then stay here... Sending happy thoughts for your family!
ReplyDeleteOhh girl, that pistachio fudge looks amazing!
ReplyDeletep.s. Is this your new personal blog? I tried visiting the one I used to comment on, but it's not available (glitch?).
