I was out last evening taking pictures of the sun, and sunset, and was trying to figure out how to capture something different. I was looking along the shoreline, and seeing all of the ice built up, and looked at a different way. This was the result. Unique, different, memorable. The biggest thing is that it has been there a long time, but with some of the snow melting, the ice was giving me a different look. A look I never paid attention to before. I seized the moment! How many times can we try to do something, and we can’t come up with a solution, or answer, until we look at the same thing in a different way. Nothing changed, except how we looked at it. Life in a nutshell. This is where I say I don’t regret the things I’ve done. I regret the things I didn’t do when I had the chance! We all need to seize those moments. That is what makes life for each of us unique.
These two shots were from yesterday from our run club out for an early morning run, and the sun was rising. I made everybody stop so I could take a picture. “Seize the moment!” Seize the moment to seize the day! Along with this, you have to ask yourself this same thing…
Slow down. Enjoy the moment. Don’t let things rush past you so fast you miss the whole moment. Take it for what it is, and when it comes. It creates much more happy memories, and brightens your day. Don’t wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect! And don’t worry what somebody else may think. I came across this earlier this week on a quote from Dr. Seuss. I don’t care about all of this garbage going on now with Dr. Seuss, and taking his books off the shelf, regardless of what reasons, or misinformation somebody may now have. He was educational, and had many significant, real life quotes for answers in life. He seized the moment!
Be true to yourself. If you don’t, nothing else matters. Otherwise you are no longer an individual, or an individual who thinks for themselves. Be happy, and the rest falls into place. This morning running was some great views in the sky to watch. It did not even feel like I was working while running. I was too busy taking it all in. Of course, I had to stop and take some pictures. Why? Because the moment called for it!
Take advantage of those moments when they come. Life is about “seizing the moment”! Do it! Take that extra time to take it all in, and appreciate what we are given, and when we are given it. Otherwise life just rolls on by, and we lose so much in the process.
Pay attention. Take time to look. Many, if not all of the things in our life have always been there, but we need to start looking at it in a different way. Once we do they, we get a whole new look, or perspective, on things. Be true to yourself. Seize the moment to seize the day! Keep moving everybody!
