Kudos Rachael for being in your vacation instead of behind a camera or a monitor. I just returned from five days away and although I took some photos, I intentionally limited my lens time.

I always look better in my memory than in a jpeg anyway. 😉

By the way, great thinking as always.

Hope is was a great vaca! And I totally agree with just living for awhile. When we glance down at our paper to write, we might miss the big finish! (Or whatever!) Thanks.

Sometimes taking photographs or notes helps me tune in closely to the small details of an experience, to see the gifts I may have missed.

Other times the camera gets in the way, and I shoot the experience instead of actually living it.

This happened a couple of weeks ago. The sky was dramatically stormy here in Nebraska. I was clicking away, when my camera battery died. I was forced to put down my camera and really drink in the glorious sky. I mentioned to my neighbor at the time, who was standing on her front porch, "I think this is God's way of making me live the experience."

Finding the balance, I think, is key. I don't think I've managed to do that yet!

May others follow your lead as you set down the Blackberry also… 🙂

I love this post! You have hit right to the core of what is important–living life in the moment and being present. The memories you captured will remain with you to be revisited when ever you wish. Putting down the pen or turning off the computer is good once in a while Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures. They say it all. Thanks also for the reminder of the importance of enjoying life in the moment.

And a stray scent or a flash of turquoise will take you back. It's better that way.

I've made the same decision a time or two and have sometimes regretted missing a great photo op. Otherwise, really, the experience matters most to you and the loved ones you're sharing with at the time. As long as you remember, it is documented.

The Lord has really been speaking to my heart lately about prying my own fingers from my keyboard to simply BE in my home. Even if nothing is going on and no family games are scheduled, just close the laptop and exist with my family. Oh, it's hard! But so worth it!

I'm working on cordoning off designated times for computer and writing, and shutting it down the rest of the day. Not always multi-tasking family time with blogging time or whatever the case may be. Our mini trip (2 days, not 2 weeks you lucky girl!) was a chance to kickstart this new attitude and it really helped!

Glad you had a blessed time with your family. Enjoy those memories! =)
