Staying in the Moment








One minute your little girls are playing in their bananna box fort at home, as you pack for the move...






the next you are at confession, and your Una tries to dip her fingers in the marble holy water font....





and it crushes her skull.

2 fractures and a hematoma on the membranes above the brain later you realize you've learned one very expensive lesson:


Savor those little minutes. Each and every one. Live in them, and don't rush them by trying to bring on the next better thing. Each moment IS the better thing.

  2. Grammamim just told me about that the other day. I don't think I would have cared the venue I would have swore. I am glad she recovered.
