The Days Are Long But The Years Are Short, and Life is Simple yet Complicated


I love Sunsets. It has a calming effect on me.  My husband and kids know that too.  The photo above was taken last Sunday.  After walking Sonny (our Italian Greyhound) on the beach, Brad drove up a street in Wailea where there is an unobstructed view of Maui Sunset. Not only do I love watching sunsets, and I love sharing it too (which explains this photo :) )

This week I found out that two of my friends got divorced :( - I was surprised.  I thought things were going great, but apparently, they were not. This made me sad a bit. Divorce is hard.  Needless to say, I am praying for these two friends ... praying for the next chapter of their lives whatever that is ...

On the other hand, one of my dear sweet friends got married.  This made me joyful and I wish them the best.

And that title I have ... it's a famous line by Gretchen Rubin (my new favorite author) ... that line "Days are long and years are short" is good reminder especially for mothers with young kids. Because it is true. Just like the saying "time flies fast".  And how about the "Life is simple yet complicated"? Well, I said that ... I don't know if someone else has quoted that, but that's just my random thought that I wanted to add in the title. And i think if you are alive, you kinda know what that means. :)

There are so much I want to share but I am already yawning.  I decided that I will blog when I can with no pressure.  Blogging back here at Liza's Eyeview (which is now lizapierce.com) is for catharsis and reflection.  No need to worry about what others will say.  No one will probably read this because I am not sharing this on social media.  Ok, some may read because the blog is public.  But that is ok.  It's like the good old bloggin days, before social media came about. I like it better that way, at least for personal blogs. 

So bye for now, and see you tomorrow. Yes, will blog tomorrow again.
