"trying to fit the world inside a picture frame"

The running family joke is 'go blog about it' and while I enjoy it {especially the comments} I don't have the same desire to jump on and share. Something has shifted and while I like having a visual reminder of the way I spend my days, when it comes down to it I rather just keep enjoying life than stop to 'go blog about it'. I heard this song by an artist I don't care for much, but the lyrics are perfect for how I feel.
I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been
You held this letter probably got excited,
But there's nothing else inside it

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it
When I'm in the mood
To lose my way
With words

Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche'
And strange how clouds that look like mountains
In the sky are next to mountains anyway

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it
When I'm in the mood
To lose my way but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise
With your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5's

Guess you had to be there
Guess you had to be with me
Today I finally overcame
Tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it
When I'm in the mood
To lose my way but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise
With your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5's
Just no more 3x5's

{song by John Mayer}

Another sun filled afternoon spent with Grandma's playing the usual game of choice. {She didn't take any prisoners this time, wiped me right out w/out even an apology.}

I know that little kitchen spot in the sun! As I recall, I even made it on the growing wall. Look for me towards the bottom...

Jenna, I miss you. I'm sorry I suck at commenting, but I still read your blog all the time. Love and miss you.

Hey Jenna,

I know exactly how you feel. The times I feel I am supposed to write something, (the more reflective posts, I usually stall because I'd rather be doing anything else. Those kind of posts where you really ponder what is happening in your life/and around you are the ones that can sometimes leave you feeling more vulnerable.) Anyhow, I'm glad you know what is important is the "real" moments, like spending time with your gramma playing a game. Wasting time on blogs is time you can't get back, though you may pick up some inspiration/or insight along the way. The most memorable memories will be ones spent with the ones you love. What I would do to spend an afternoon with my Mimi just one more time.

Much love,

MBL
P.S. Thanks so much for the visit.
