Moments of beauty..........

This is a picture of me when I was little. I was so excited to feed the birds. They kept nipping at my fingers for the food I had for them and the excitement in my expression is something I love. Really, I love this sort of thing in general. Images that capture the true essence of what you are feeling at that moment. To be able to capture happiness, sadness, disappointment, hurt, despair, bliss, passion..........all of these emotions are truly beautiful.

When we were younger, all of these things meant something somewhat different than it does to us now that we are adults. Like I am LOVING feeding these birds in this picture! It's the best thing ever! As an adult.....you learn so many other emotions and just how deep they run. Some may think that missing someone is the most excruciating pain ever known. I find a sort of comfort in it. Missing someone or something shows me how much passion I have for it. I never want to forget the moments that have molded me into...well, me. The beautiful times......the heart wrenching times......I hold them all close to me. Because honestly, can you really ever forget the bad times? I don't think that it's humanly possible. So, I embrace them. Not meaning that I enjoy the bad times of course......but what I've been trying to do is pull the beauty from them.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if something strikes me as touching.....I can seriously become drunk in it. I can become lost in beautiful moments.....and I love it!!!!
