hello, new day

Ending February on a Leap Day -that was something kinda special, right? We should have done something special, something out of the ordinary (or at least a leap, right?)
But then life happens. A normal day happens, tears-over-math-lessons happen, that fun picture you thought you might take doesn't happen, or perhaps did happen but it's still in the camera...you know.

If I have been learning anything recently it is this: I must choose each day the things I will pick up, the things I will lay down. Each day. And in the right Light, ordinary days suddenly become something kinda special. They shine.
More and more, I am trying to let go so that I can hold fast...

Let us lay aside every encumbrance...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.

Hebrews 12:1-2
