Making Time and Taking Time

We say it all the time, "I need to make time for this or for that..."  How does one actually do that though?  It is impossible to make time, to have more hours in a day...it seems like a nice concept, a luxury even.  I am always behind in my blogging, in my picture uploading, in my picture taking even and I cannot figure out why.  We live in a day and age with so much technology that is supposed to help us stay organized and "make time" (so to speak) and yet somehow it complicates things.  For instance, back in the day (actually not all that long ago) we used film in cameras and took them in to get developed and voila, a stack of pictures to put in a photo album.  Now we can take literally hundreds of photos and save them on this tiny piece of plastic.  Am I the only one that is literally years behind in having pictures printed?  Like right now for instance, I have a huge list of things to do and yet Iʻve decided to "take time" for myself to blog.  It is a beautiful sunny day outside and I can think of a million better things to do than sit in front of a computer, but the only way to get one thing accomplished is to let other things slide.  If any of you out there have found some method to keep your life balanced, please share...I have yet to figure it out.  I wanted to share some pictures that need sharing.  Some special ones from Christmas that have not yet found their way into a photo album (but one day will).


This is a picture of Grammie, YaYa, Dayton & Saige.  The kids LOVED their time with Great-Grammie and I know she equally loved her time spent with them.


My beach babies are getting too big!


This is a good example of why I am literally years behind in printing pictures - I take too many!  I LOVE sibling pictures; especially when they donʻt know Iʻm taking their picture.


Great Grammie taking it all in!  This was her first trip to Hawaii.

I think we have too many choices of what to do these days! :-) But I never did photo albums before digital either...my photos are all neatly stuff in the original envelopes they were put in after printing! In a box...somewhere.

And now I keep them sorted by month/year on a hard drive.

As for time...sometimes you have to decide what is most important. What was important yesterday may or may not be today. :-) I set mini-goals for myself. I feel like I have to be really careful with my time...because I have so little of it due to work. Especially on the weekends!!!
