52 Weeks Photo Challenge: Week 7-Time
Time for the latest installment of the 52 Weeks Photo Challenge from The Girl That Dreams Awake.
The topic for this week is:
TIME
Here’s my take on it:
The past twenty years has been a whirlwind. Some good, some bad. Some magical, some tragic. Through it all, my wife and kids have been my cornerstone. I thought it natural then, to utilize them to illustrate the passage of time. We went from two clueless kids to a family of five. It’s gone fast. Watching these boys grow at an alarmingly rapid rate has been bittersweet, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

Time certainly flies. But I’ve been provided a lifetime of love and laughter and learning in that relatively short amount of time. I’m glad I stopped to enjoy it, while it was happening. I’ve got a million photos to prove it.
My songs of the day are:
“In The Midnight Hour” by Wilson Pickett
“Dinner At Eight” by Rufus Wainwright
“Time” by Pink Floyd
“Nearly Midnight, Honolulu” by Neko Case
“20 Years” by The Civil Wars
“Seven Year Ache” by Roseanne Cash
“One Week” by Barenaked Ladies
“Reelin’ In The Years” by Steely Dan
Lovely collection! It’s the most we can do enjoy the time we have with the ones we love most 🙂
