life is beautiful

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”

We could hear it before it came.  Thunder boomed in the distance, clouds gathered in dramatic form. I told my kids to go out and enjoy the rain, clothes and all.  My son needed no prodding. While he ran out the back door, I ran to the living room, grabbed my camera and headed for the front door.  The rain fell gently at first, then it happened, drips gave way to the most fantastic summer storm.  As I clicked his whole body rejoiced. Arms out stretched to the sky, face to the rain, he was purely in the moment. Being 7 is oh so very good you see, and rain is pure bliss on a hot summer’s day.  Children know this.  They celebrate life with ALL their being. I came inside soaked not only with rain, but with the pure joy of being in the moment with him.

What better word then for July’s One Word Project than life?  Such a great word to interpret don’t you agree?  From new life, to love life, to everyday life.  SO many wonderful takes on one word. This month, it’s your job to explore this word with your lens. Join us all month long as we see and celebrate life.

A master at celebrating life’s everyday moments is the inspiring Ali Edwards.  This month Ali is hosting a Week In The Life ,an annual opportunity to capture the simple everyday details of your life with photos and words. PERFECT! 

Today share life as you’ve captured it.

  16. Beautiful capture! We got a rain tease, today. Thunder, clouds, but very few sprinkles. We're in the midst of a drought, so I was bummed. My lawn (and my soul) needed a strong thunderstorm.

    Most of life, these days, is reading stories, making snacks, knitting, resting, running, and even a little flipping on the bed. http://flic.kr/p/a1f8GK
