I came home and made lentil soup for dinner.
I've been trying to bring lunch to work.
I've been so busy I no longer have too much time to go home for lunch.
And skipping lunch is a bad idea for me....
So, some lentil soup for lunch tomorrow too.
Hanging out on the deck before dinner, the clouds were weird.
Can't even describe them....
Spooky maybe.
I took a picture.
There was an orange glow in the house later on, It was a beautiful sky. I knew I had to go grab a picture.
I know, still trying to capture the moment, instead of just enjoying it.
Why do we do that?
It seems a memory isn't enough.
Why are we trying to capture every moment?
Just because we can, just because we have the technology, doesn't mean we should....
We need something physical, something to hold in our hands?
So we can return to that feeling, that moment, over and over.
I wonder if it is a sign of getting older.
Just a normal reaction of something most of us go through, that feeling of forgetfulness?
Or is it, because, as we get older, we are more cognizant of....life passing us by.
So quickly.
I don't think I see young people always reaching....to capture that moment.
Well, maybe I do.
Maybe this generation of young people do just that.
That's new.
We are so attached to our electronics. Social media.
I'm guilty as well.
We didn't always try to capture the moment.
Sure, we took, or were part of pictures growing up, vacation pictures, etc.
But, now, we want, we need to capture everything.
Do we even have just good memories anymore?
Where we close our eyes and think about a wonderful time, or event, a special moment.
I hope we all still have those memories.
Buried in our brains.
Where we can bring them forward, where they can bring a smile without having to scroll through our phone.
I hope I can find a good balance.
When I see a beautiful sky, a gorgeous sunrise or sunset.
I know I will still reach for my camera.
But I hope, I'll try....
To take just one or 2 pictures.
And then sit back and enjoy the moments.
Ok, can't resist, I still want to share the pix!
