Haiku My Heart Friday - Ellipsis…

Our joy-filled moments…

Treasures found, then left behind...

We shared them well

******************

I have been away.

Missed you guys !

But I needed the time to just be.

Be with all of it.

Be in the moment.

Be Me.

Here’s some of my favorite pics of my time away…

The thing I came away with the most after my time away was how precious each moment is.

And how comforting returning to the present moment can be.

Be in this moment.

Love it, live it.
