Last year I was on a cruise for a few days. Oh how the stress of months weighed heavily on me. I probably was closer at that moment to my breaking point than I had ever been. I stood on the deck of the ship and looked out into the blue sky dotted with white clouds and the aqua ocean which broke in white caps. I took a picture of that moment. A picture not on a camera, but in my mind. A mental image to replay when I need a 1 minute vacation.
I do have others, of family and friends of travels and home. Moments which I captured and hold inside. No one else can see them and they are truly my secret. I keep them ready to pull up at any moment when I just need a quick smile. These are good images and the ones you remember most.
These moments are what we hold on to. They give us a small measure of peace in a world that is so hectic and full the stress of life. Hold on to those mental moments, because they are tiny little oasis in the desert of time.
