I want to tell you what a nice, young man you are raising in Colton. He was at our home last night with our grandson, David. Not only is he a "cutie", but very polite. His eyes lit up when he saw my husband's hockey skates hanging in the garage(old ones that Colton said you "can't find any more"), purchased for $5 at a rummage sale! You continue to be in my daily thoughts and prayers!<br /><br />Becky LindellJeremy's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770227327842983600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-60354383604219940902012-05-07T23:41:53.205-05:002012-05-07T23:41:53.205-05:00Fleeting IS worth it!

We had very few flowers on the reservation where I grew up, but we did have lilacs. They came heralding the arrival of spring, only to leave again. I learned to appreciate them, to inhale their lovely scent, while I could, and it's made all the difference in how I've been able to appreciate life. :) XXOO...Roxane B.

You know, I almost cut down my wisteria because it only blooms for a little while, and then it's just a . . . vine! But it's the fleeting moments of memories and the scent I can smell even as I think of it that causes me to leave it there. It's worth it. <br /><br />I can't help but think that ALL of life is made up of fleeting moments. Scrapbooks show us that. Each scene, each person, just a fleeting moment in time, captured by a picture. If we cut down everything that rushes past us in a moment, we wouldn't have much left, would we. To me? The tree is worth keeping . . . forever!Cora from Hidden Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066244776488896258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-37623405138215099142012-05-07T11:19:35.417-05:002012-05-07T11:19:35.417-05:00Hi Vicky!!

I so agree about fleeting moments - some we must hold onto, savor and relish them; I think others we need to appreciate them while they are here but not hang onto them as well, does that make sense?<br /><br />Praying your week is GREAT!<br />xoTiffanyTiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908504833550812024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-45166942619005076212012-05-07T07:05:42.863-05:002012-05-07T07:05:42.863-05:00PS..

And I'm with you....fleeting (when it's as beautiful as that) should never be taken for granted. There are many hard and ugly things in the world. NEVER remove beauty!! Sometimes, no matter HOW fleeting, it makes all the difference. Glad you got to see it and capture it and (maybe?) convince her of it's importance in the world!
