In the Moment...Neglecting!

I miss my Blog!

I used to post every couple of days. Writing about random things that happened to me during my week, but since I decided to post about all the MUST SEE places in Maui, I find myself needing more time than usual to post the best pictures out of over 300+ that I took AND find the mile markers to coincide with them. No easy task! Especially since my next post is my FAVORITE spots.

Then there's my book to finish typing, pictures to download, Bible study, weekly Prayer requests/story's to get out, football games, team dinners...etc., etc.

The problem is I enjoy them all and in the moment...I can do them all. But time is stingy and seems to get in the way of all I need to do...I need more of it!

My hubby tells me I always put too much on my plate, over-committing myself. He's probably right, but I get excited about things...in the moment...feeling like I can accomplish everything I've said, "YES!" to.

So something has to give...and it appears, to be my Blog lately.

Follow a Cloud?

I think I should change the title of my Blog to "The Random Blog." I know there is no rhyme or reason to it & it can't be categorized. Some days it's about sports, other days fashion, dances, pain, encouragement, scary situations & simple moments.

But that 's me, that's who I am...that's my life, that's my daily moments, interests & thoughts. I can't be put into a category, a box or one simple subject. Life is never one dimensional...

So today I'll share a moment.

Last week on the way to take pictures of the JV Football game, I was late, rushed & trying to get there before the opening kick off (yes, classic me!)

While stopped at a light, I noticed a single cloud shooting across the clear blue sky. At first it looked like something a jet would leave trailing behind, but it went on forever...I couldn't see the beginning or end & it was a little thicker. As I turned & headed up the hill, I continued to try to see where it ended. My curiosity got the best of me, late or not, I needed to see what was up with this forever cloud. Driving up to a park, I pulled in the driveway, stopped my car & got out with my camera. I only had my large lens so I took pictures of the cloud in pieces.

I walked through the park to an opening & just stood there. The cloud stopped directly over the bay...as if it was an arrow, directing me, pointing the way to a beautiful view. I stood there in the peace & quiet and took in the moment, snapped a shot capturing the scene & then headed off to the game feeling refreshed and less stressed.

I wonder how many other people were being directed by the arrow cloud to slow down, stop rushing through life and look at the beauty around you.

Just a little reminder to each one of you too...turn off the auto pilot & follow a cloud sometimes, you never know what you'll find.
