Treasures

As I have been trying to finish posting about my amazing summer, I have been pouring over all of the pictures on my computer.  I love the way that photographs take a perfect moment and tie it up in a nice little package for you to cherish forever.  After a while, you don't remember the moments just before or after that may not have been so perfect and so you are given the gift of remembering only the good.  I often look at blogs and start to feel like everyone leads perfect lives filled with vacations.  I commented about this to James and he responded that other people probably think the same thing when they look at ours.  I had to laugh.  It is true, it is easy to share the perfect moments in our lives.  Everyone has their fair share of struggle and heartache.  Tonight, I am feeling gratitude for everything that has been lovely about my life.  For the sweet moments I have shared with the ones I love, and for all the joy that has filled me up.  No matter what tomorrow brings, I will always have those treasured memories.
