Everyday Life Quote

I read this quote today on a scrapbooking blog that I follow. She is talking about her thoughts when she was doing a project called A Week in the Life. It's a project where your take pictures of your "everyday life" for a week. I plan on doing this in the next couple of days. I am already doing a project called "Project Life" where I take a picture a day. LOVE IT!! I love capturing the everyday moments, not just a special holiday or birthday all the time. So many stories to remember and tell.

from Anna Quindlen

......but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three on them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4, and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.
