small snippets

Sometimes days are long and time is short. Sometimes we have more to-dos, work, and responsibility than we even have time for. Sometimes we are far too busy to muse, ponder or reflect. This is what life feels like for me these days. And when it gets like this I find it hard to pick up my camera, to update my blog or even to blurt something out on facebook. But my story being written every day of my life, whether I have time to acknowledge it or not. The things that happen, the people I meet, the places I go, the time I spend...it all means something. It's all a part of my story.

I am finding lately that it doesn't take much to document my life these days. As a matter of fact, these small snippets of my days and nights captured with a simple camera phone are enough. This is what my life is like right now. Tiny slivers of light. Stolen moments in time. Amidst a very tight schedule my story is being written.

And as you go about your daily life, whatever it looks like, yours is being written too.

Today, as we end what has been an inspiring month of stories, share a small snippet today. Something that may have only taken a split second to capture but means the world.

Today we want to give a very special thank you to Paper Coterie for affording us so many lovely giveaways and encouraging all of us to tell our stories. We are giving away our last $100 gift certificate today. Please leave a comment here for your chance to win.

I recently went for a run and snapped this photo with my iPhone. It is for sunsets like these that I go running:

Instead of a photo, I have a short video of me feeding an apple to my horse, something I get to do more often during the fall when the apples are plentiful.

A moment of quiet with my kids. Telling our stories this month helped me to slow down and really "be" in these moments.

these are all lovely shots submitted. Mine is just a late afternoon shot of where my family eats daily and the silhouette it created as I walked by it.

This little incident happened last week... I'm glad I was able to get my camera out of my closet to capture a moment I will never forget!

A snippet of my life is my son’s happy face. He seems to stay happy no matter how little sleep he has had.

This theme has been great - its quiet moments when we see our boy veggin in his room with his head resting on his service dog that make it all worth while

[Tenika]

A moment of serinIty and self awareness.

It was a rainy Saturday and everyone was stuck inside. I captured my son looking longingly out the window.

I can't wait for my upgrade when I can finally get a phone with a decent camera - actually at this point, a camera that even works. I can't wait to grab some snippets!

[Gail O]

I am constantly trying to capture moments of my day with my camera or iphone and each day my daughters and I each share a moment on a blog we do together.

As a college student struggling to figure out the rest of my life, it's easy to get caught up in the stress of everyday. But this picture reminds me to step back, and remember that we're all young at heart :)

Today I spent the morning with a friend from work, and her cute family, including her new little boy. It was such a beautiful morning, capturing some snippets of their weekend morning.

Here's one of my favorites:

I find myself loving my camera phone more and more to capture those daily snippets.
