Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday. That amusing trend of posting a picture of something from way back when. It takes us back to funny memories, good memories, and sometimes embarrassing ones.

I don't often do it, sure, but that's mostly because I'm forgetful. But isn't it a beautiful idea?

Let's throwback to this, a moment...

that made us laugh until we couldn't breathe or speak

of  sitting around with our siblings and cousins, the first true friends we had

from the family vacations that meant it was truly summertime and we could soak up sunshine every day

showing favorite childhood toy or place, like the park you'd play every weekend

from the high school plays and games with the people who got us through those 4 long years

where that cousin that's all grown up now was an adorable toddler running around

of being crazy with the college friends that were family away from family 

of hideous fashion choices that make us rue the day our offspring will ridicule us for wearing

that brought us     j     o     y

because yes, these moments are beautiful

and this world needs all the beautiful things in it to overshadow all the yuck out there

and help hope, joy, and love reign.
