Week 32-Life Is a Series of Snapshots


Life is a series of snapshots;
moments in time where we are 
happy, sad, serious, silly.

Mostly life if photographed
would be of informal happenings 
when we are most comfortable 
and relaxed:  laughing together 
waiting for our sodas in a drive thru;
preparing dinner in the kitchen;
playing with water balloons
in the hot summer sun.

Sometimes life does not go as 
planned and may seem dark; 
these are the moments when a friend
leans in to give a hug or listens 
quietly to our aching heart.

Sometimes life is a dance party
that we just have to move our feet
alone or with everyone around 
no matter where we are.

Once in a while, there is a photo booth
that captures our blessings.  
The photograph freezes time 
and for good measure, we keep 
a treasured copy in our hearts.
