SOLS:  Where does the time go?

Almost a year and a half

Looking back
at photos and videos
that captured those 
small moments in time.
The moments of
unbelievable firsts
of wonder
of amazement
that are
just adorable and funny.
How can it all be
such a distant memory in

Almost a year and a half?

    You are so right, where does time go? But the memory is brought back with the slices that have recorded pieces of time.

    You remind me of a poem about a little girl grown. I found it at this site-toward the bottom of the page: http://www.nytimes.com/1989/01/18/garden/metropolitan-diary-253089.html Time goes so quickly, but it's also nice that you are recording some of those memories!

    The weird thing is that one day you will wake up, your girls will be in college, and you will be clueless as to how the time ran away. Your poetry is a wonderfully lasting gift to you and your kids :)

    Dear Michelle,
    The time keeps going and going and at one point it seems that it is running away. Writing helps to slow it and sometimes even freeze it. Just a little.
    Thank you for your comment on my post. It mattered to me.

    Yes, it goes so quickly. I remember when you were just six years old and reading to kids in the nursery, thinking that one day you would be a teacher. Now many years later, I look at you and wonder "where did all those years go?". Enjoy each moment of each day with the girls, because they too will grow up way too quickly. Love & hugs to you & the girls! M

    I hear you on "where does time go." I just sent out "save the dates" for my daughter's first birthday party. It felt like just yesterday when I was pregnant.

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
