Do you ever find yourself
in the middle of a perfect moment
and wish you could freeze time forever?
You realize that you're in the middle of something really special.
You try your best to savor the magic of that moment
-to engage in it, as fully as you can-
before time pulls that scene away and replaces it with normal life.
Whether it's with your family all gathered together at the holidays,
or as you wipe away tears of laughter over dinner with friends,
...or, maybe, it's traveling across Northern Scotland at Christmas with your love.
We're holding on to this perfect day for a little longer...
tea time with Tunnock's caramel wafers &
a walk around the tiny fishing village, Portree,
before returning for dinner at the hotel pub.
Life, on the Isle of Skye, is good.

ReplyDeletegosh, wouldn't life be GREAT living there? i hope you're REALLY enjoying yourself!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that you do not need someone to carry your bags, massage those weary feet or sketch all your adventures. I just love all the places you go, the things you see, and eat and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAh, life is good.

LOVE this post. I feel the love, positive energy and magical moment jump right off the page. YES I have had those perfect moments that you want to put a pause button on. I guess if every day was that great, we wouldnt' fully appreciate them as much, but boy I wouldn't argue, thats for sure!! Looks like a blissful day to me:)
