Godlight breathaking moments© Diane Hughes 2011
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

This quote has been attributed to a number of people, including author Maya Angelou. Regardless of its origin, this simple phrase lends a poetic touch to the old adage of "quality over quantity."  This week, take the time to look for life's breathtaking moments; you never know where you're going to find them. Whether it's the unexpected kindness of a stranger or a glorious moment in our natural world, allow yourself to be awed.

Yes, this. Exactly this.

Holding hands, kissing in the rain, my children's belly laughs.

This? Is stunning. Thank you, truly.

My youngest daughter is about to turn twelve so I was going through some photos of her for a post I want to write, and I got all choked up. She takes my breath away, as do all of my kids on a daily basis.
