I was just sitting here unloading some shots from one of my cameras and catching up on computer items. A lot of looking back through photos over the year, last year, etc and seeing what I can post out to my other site http://www.timehlers.com/.
So I come across this photo of my daughter playing in the rolling surf as the sun i
s going to set for another day. She is just having a the time of her life and enjoying things as they are, not worried about the job, family, basically very few cares. At this same time I was listening to a song by Shawn Mullins called "Shimmer" and it really struck a chord with me at that moment.

At this same time I was listening to a song by Shawn Mullins called "Shimmer" and it really struck a chord with me at that moment.I find myself at times sitting and spending a little to much time fixated on the issues at hand and how to make it to the next hour or even day. Most of the times these are things that in the "big picture" don't really matter and yet the rise to top for few moments of thought. I am not one that really dwells on that to much and hope that I really don't, but this song kind of puts some perspective on just looking at life. I am a huge Shawn Mullins fan and really enjoy his music so when I saw this photo and heard the song, well, I thought I should share. There is to much to learn from looking at life through the eyes of our children, they can unlock so much from us it can be a wonderful gift you never have to buy.
A few more weeks until Christmas and to continually see it through a childs eyes always makes this time of year that much better. Have a great Christmas and New Year's and hope that you too find that joy this time of year brings.
