Moments.

hey, thanks for the little reminder. I was in the midst of a crying jag and decided to go online to check my email when I saw this latest post. Thanks, I needed that. Needed to feel that other people get that crazy busy feeling and freak out over it, but that it will all setlle down somehow. Thanks for the breathing room.

Sometimes those moments are the best time of the day...I think we should all set aside a little peace time and just admire God's splendor everyday...puts things in perspective.

Umm, hello, mountains?? Of course you're gonna gain a little perspective. Here's to waiting around and have epiphanies.

With all of the tasks and jobs we have to mark off of our to-do lists and constantly doing the studying and the working, time just flies by and we find ourselves six months from the last breather we had. Thanks for this post. It's good to know others are feeling the weight of that list!

Thanks for reminding me to be thankful for those quiet, peaceful moments. They are far and few between, and are rare gifts!

I can completely relate, as my to do list sometimes borders on insanity. It is a great feeling to just surrender to the circumstances sometimes (in your case waiting for a shuttle) and just be. Hope that you will find more moments to just be in the near future.

:o)
happy you had your moment.
make sure to eat a cookie.

:-) so happy for you!
worried about you, before, not worried anymore...

I don't know how you do it with your schedule. It's so difficult to manage just a family and work. Then I add a hobby. Then just life. All this without deadlines, and I am overwhelmed.
It is nice to just stop and soak up the world. It makes my little world seem manageable, and I feel renewed and refreshed and ready to take it all on, all over again. Thanks for the reminder to stop and enjoy a moment.

i'm glad for you, A. Cause I don't know how you do it while keeping it together for the scrap world to see. Wishing you more peaceful times.

Hey Ali! I love those moments of peace! It was great to meet you while you were visiting and dinner at Chevy's! You really are an amazing person! Your positive attitude is so contagious! The day I met you, I was overwhelmed by a ton of crazy stuff, and our chat really put it all back into perspective and made it seem so simple! Thanks for that! I'll email you soon!

feels good huh
keep counting those blessings

love you, ali!

Hi Ali, you really are great at articulating experiences such as your *moment*! It's amazing.
I also saw you trying Tim Tams on Emily's blog and wondered what you thought of them. I am from NZ and I'm really excited to meet you when I take your classes here in Wellington. Are you travelling a bit in NZ or are you just here to take the classes? There's a lot of beautiful places to see in this country! Chloe

Yep the Tim Tams... Do you know that if you bite off both ends you can suck your coffee/hot chocolate through the cookie, and then the middle disintegrates and you eat it and it is heaven!!!! Ok, so it doesn't work the same with cups of tea.

So funny that you mention this because I had a moment like that when I was walking from the cinema(yes we went to see cars too!)with DH and the kids. A feeling of peace came over me as I watched them and I felt true happiness just by looking at them and knowing it is ok. I got all teary because the joy I felt came straight from my heart.
thanks for sharing your moments!
