These are the Days

"These are the days of....."  Recently, that phrase came into bold focus as the rest of the words on the worn page I was reading faded out of view.   Life seems fast lately.  I can't put my finger on the cause, but my spirit seems to be full- almost unsettled.

One day rolls into the next.  I get through it.  I accomplish the never ending list.
 I try to love well. 

But I am missing it, pushing it along- longing for the next, not the now and deep down inside I know regret lies ahead if I keep the pace.  

That is why that question struck a chord deep within me.  What WERE these the days of anyway?  Not the big events or milestones, but the simple day to day that make up so much of life.  I decided to make a list- to truly reflect and capture those moments down in words.

 Each memory in and of itself that I captured warmed my soul.  The full smile came when I read them all together.  All those little moments make up life, my life.  Recognizing and celebrating them is the way we were meant to live. 

So, These are the days of.....
