Snapshots … times captured…
This photograph was taken roughly 8 years ago … a long time , in the scale of the life timer.
How much the four of us have changed since that snapshot, cuddles became tighter, hair greyer, mind memory bank more stuffed with heartwarming & heartwrenching periods, relationship roles tweaked, dynamics … continuing change.
The life timer continued to tick from that snapshot, as it does … time is so powerful 🤔 it doesn’t stop, it doesn’t slow, no exceptions… ever.
Our minds capture times … although can play tricks on us, get confused, distracted…. Very simply I guess … jammed up ! The snapshots are arguably more reliable & permanemt.
We are aware that time doesn’t stop, that life changes, people age, children grow, opportunities pass by, moments are fleeting, life ends, hiccups occur, muddy waters present & brighter days show up, sometimes they just bob in & out!
However, does everyone fully appreciate the importance of the timer, the snapshots & capturing memories … the way our mind benefits from the snapshots changes as the months, years & the never ending movement & speed of the life timer tick on ? We see different messages, they conjure different feelings, memories.
WHAT IF 🤔 their main power was to remind us that life is brief, memories are one of our most valuable belongings.
The only effort & cost to acquire them was to take the snapshot !!!
Remember, the snapshots are permanent & our minds aren’t. The longevity is in the snapshot. Bolster the memories for generations to come .. the messages, emotions, the power of them.
Snapshots can be informative, amusing, healing, educational, mind enriching & comfoting.
Embrace the timer, bank the snapshots.
If it’s healing that’s needed at this moment, soak up the snapshots & let your mind wander. Allow them to remind us that the timer can’t be snoozed …. So, let’s embrace the day & get memory making & snapshotting 📷 ❤
Find the snapshot moments in your day ☀
