For graduation, one of my mentors gave me A Writer’s Diary by Virginia Woolf. “I hope you read it slowly,” was one of the things she wrote inside the book. So I do. Every night before I go to sleep, I read one of Virginia’s entries.
“Life piles up so fast,” she wrote on a Wednesday in March, “that I have no time to write out the equally fast rising mound of reflections, which I always mark down as they rise to be inserted here.”
Life piled up quickly and ever so palpably here last week. I’m glad for Ms Woolf’s words I could contemplate slowly while the last eight years seemed to flash before my eyes.
Those poses! Hope it was a good first week for all of you. And I’m adding A Writer’s Diary to my to-read list now…
Hadley LOVES to pose! I told her to “just smile” in the last photo and can you tell she’s annoyed? 🙂
Those pics are hilarious! And outfits… Hadley loves her sporty socks.
She got that from her Uncle Geoff.
Adding that to my list as well! They look ready to take on the world!
You let me know when you’re ready to read it, and I’ll loan you my copy. 🙂
Cute pictures.
“Life piled up quickly.” – That pretty much sums up our whole month of August.
I really liked that phrase.
everything piles up so fast. spending some time thinking about how to be more intentional about the important stuff. i might need to get rid of a couple kids before i can find that kind of time. want one? they’re cute.
I know. It’s hard though, when it’s piling up so DAMN fast.
