On this snowy day…
…behind snow splattered windows,
I watch nature silently create a visual delight.
While I listen to this song with my all.
It’s hard to believe that this song by Kate Bush is more than 20 years old…I first heard it while watching the movie “She’s Having a Baby.” And when I listen to it now I still feel strong emotion. I hear the timeless message: “embrace the moment”. And I’m reminded to live in the here and now, lest the moments slip by. The truths in this tender song make me think, make me feel…make me appreciate life.

Powerful words. “All the things we should’ve……”
It certainly gives me pause. We let so many moments slip away.
Thanks for sharing this Becky.

beautifully haunting tune. I’ve never heard it before. all that snow is just amazing to me. it’s cold here today for Florida, with a forecast high of 49. but that will soon pass and we’ll be back in the upper 60’s!

I am sitting here at midnight (its my daughters birtyday sleep over) and I thought I would spend some quality blogging time while waiting for them to go to sleep… thanks for the reminder to live in the moment. I am going to stop blogging now and go and sit in a quiet corner and enjoy listening to my daughter and her friends enjoying their moment.
love me 🙂

Hi Becky, I had to visit after Jenny D. posted the gift you gave her. The batting bird is so cute!
We have white stuff outside too!

Simply beautiful. Love the way Mother Nature paints our world. It is snowing here too….my favourite is the slow gentle fall of big flakes of snow making the world so white and making time feel so slow reminding me to be in the moment.
Funny how some lyrics are so timeless and so moving, while others just fade away.
Hugs,

I love these snow photos Becky. The snow always looks so quiet and peaceful to me. The Kate Bush song is a beautiful piece. Living in the moment…a perfect reminder, thank you.
