more blog

We haven't dropped off the face of the earth as some of you may be thinking, or maybe hoping. Instead, I'm just a slacker at writing in this blog. Jason and I make more of an effort at our new blog. I'm still picking away at photography and still love it. I'm working part-time as a corporate flight attendant and loving it too. Life's great.

I was reminded once again to not forget "to live (as the French do), laugh, and love during life". Yesterday was a solemn reminder of 5 years ago when Americans got angry at terrorism. The news kept insinuating that the general public isn't quite so upset anylonger. One interviewee who suffered severe burns in the Pentagon hit, testified to a new love for life after his close call. His wife said, "he doesn't take life so seriously anymore; he laughs and jokes around" (loose quote). I'm trying to wrap my mind around that one. Why would someone who has had such a close call and experienced the severity of life, loosen up? I think some of us would do just the opposite. Maybe he realized life should be filled with joys amidst the pain. Maybe we forget to let the most important things in life, be the most important things: family, vacations together, laughter, Jesus. Once it's over, it's over.
