Each week Ruth Ayres extends an invitation to share and celebrate events, big or small, from our week.
As I read Ruth's post today about this community holding on in her absence, I am reminded of the importance of holding on. Although we linger with the past and turn toward tomorrow, sometimes it is holding on that allows us to celebrate the today.
Today I am celebrating the things I have held on to this week.
memories
my children's futures
my husband's heart
dreams
the last days of summer
patience
words
hope
It is a nice reminder, Leigh Anne!
ReplyDeleteNo more words needed. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI love how you pulled out the words "holding on". Mmm...
ReplyDelete"Sometimes it is holding on that allows us to celebrate the today!" Thanks for your wise words. And sometimes we just need to live in today's moment.
ReplyDeleteWhen I can barely hold on, I always hold onto my husband and children. Your post is a celebration!
ReplyDelete"Holding on as a way to celebrate today" seems to be a recipe for valuing the gifts we've been given. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. Holding on is sometimes the best possible thing we can do.
ReplyDeleteYES! Holding on to the past is just so hard sometimes. It helps us to hold on to sweet memories, but sometimes I also find it hard to let go of things that I need to. I wrote about memories this week! Have a great day!

I love your list of things you are holding on to. Patience is the one I need to give myself.
ReplyDeleteThe last days of summer were dear to my heart, especially since I was able to celebrate it on the other side of the US. Enjoy the new season and drop by #NYEDChat tonight if you can. It is our back to Twitter Party.
