Don't Blink

I'm not going to sweat the fact that school has been in session for 6 weeks already.  I am choosing to be thankful that I am enjoying a quiet morning to myself to sit down and post "first day of school" pictures.  I say it every year, and this year is no different...I can't believe how big my children are getting!  Every time I think about these precious moments, I'm reminded of the group, Revive, and their song, Blink.

"Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink"

 "When it's all said and done
No one remembers how far we have run
The only thing that matters is how we have loved
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink"

"Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it's too late

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink."

For what is your life? 

It is a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
