The framed, frozen moment in time is only that, a fleeting instant, captured but let go of again within a second. Your post reminded me of the fragility of our human existence but also of our fortitude to withstand change and adversity. Thanks, your post meant a lot to me today.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-24675313302026810972015-06-23T19:02:42.756-07:002015-06-23T19:02:42.756-07:00This is such a fascinating post on so many levels....This is such a fascinating post on so many levels. I certainly understand where you are coming from in this, and I even agree with what you have to say. Having said that, I love to capture moments on my camera, with my pen, or even as a memory. On the other hand, I also loath to take out a camera to capture the moment because it takes me out of it at other times. <br /><br />Journaling is so helpful for me when it comes to understanding myself, my situation, my take on a situation. I can write it and forget about it. Journaling is how I process. My kids can shred my journals for me after I die. I hope I don't hurt them by what I say. It is only my mother that I would not want to read my journals and deepest thoughts. That is a sad thought, but it is an honest one.<br /><br />By nature, I am not a planner. I have never been a planner. Teaching was torture for me when it came to daily plans. I was a big picture planner. I knew my goals and objectives. I knew what I wanted to teach and why. I made notes for a scope of weeks to come, but the daily plans would baffle me when it came to writing them down. I guess I taught shooting from the hip most of the time with the main thing in mind. Luckily, I could get away with it. The daily plan police never came after me. I was tight when it came to outlining assignments with rubrics and recording in my grade book, but the planning was beyond me. <br /><br />The same goes for grocery lists, meal plans, vacations that are all planned out. I drive my husband crazy.

However, if I reread my words, I feel embarrassed or shy and think...why do I keep these? I don't want them discovered after I die. I consider journals private things and don't want mine to be seen. So I periodically shred them.rjerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453912819445395042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-85720510942942539302015-06-18T14:38:01.683-07:002015-06-18T14:38:01.683-07:00I do plan here and there and I also "fly by t...I do plan here and there and I also "fly by the seat of my pants" at times. Working in surgery you have to always be ready with a plan B because plan A can go haywire ASAP. I wanted to learn a total knee setup perfectly so I scrubbed weekly only those cases for over a month...got it down pat...then the Doc changed the equipment he was using to a totally new set. I just shook my head..figures...started all over. Now, I just pray I can move forward as technology in medicine changes constantly. In life, I'm the picture taker..I love to look back and see the faces of family and friends and see how each year brings changes. I think it's wonderful to catch those moments in time that can never be relived except in memory and on film...or digital! However, I always respect the privacy of others and ask permission before I click a pic!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-6847819375620398192015-06-18T09:49:00.705-07:002015-06-18T09:49:00.705-07:00I find that things come round full circle eventual...I find that things come round full circle eventually as you're finding with your grandchild.<br /><br />I do make plans and keep a journal but find that even the best laid plans have to be changed as the originals are often thwarted.<br />I like to read what I was doing 5 yrs ago though!<br />Maggie xMaggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-20851344373577847922015-06-18T07:46:55.652-07:002015-06-18T07:46:55.652-07:00never much of a planner myself.

I just wish that they wouldn't keep introducing new charging cords. Remember when there was a universal plug that you plugged into the wall?

Yet today, after a life of never making provisions, I am doing better than I ever have before.<br /><br />Perhaps what has always saved me from total destruction has been my practical nature.
