When thinking about a name for this blog, I wanted something that reflected togetherness, family unity, and love. Something that was meaningful to me, but that could also resound in the hearts and minds of others as they reflected on their own lives. In my search for the perfect title, I spent weeks searching through song lyrics for inspiration, listening line by line to the music on the radio, and pouring over famous quotes and movie lines.
I kept coming back to the song "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley. I love Brad Paisley, and it's one of my favorite songs. It's a sweet song, and I've often thought that it could have been written about me! (She lost all track of time and burnt the cake, for example. I get distracted SO easily and if there's such thing as a black thumb for cooking...I have it. But I digress...)
One verse in particular stood out to me.
I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank God that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
And I thank God that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
This one little verse actually does a pretty amazing job of describing life. Life is all about the little imperfections. Plans are always changing, and nobody really knows where they're going in life. The important thing is that you have somebody by your side while you're trying to find your way. That somebody can be your family, your friends, or simply someone else that's experiencing life side by side with you. We're all in this together.
Thus, Lost and Holding Hands was born.
