Just Breathe

We are up to challenge number 195 at Scrapping the Music!  WOW!  And challenge #195's song is one of my favorites:  "Just Breathe" by Pearl Jam.


The lyrics to this song always touch me when I hear them!  They bring back happy memories, and I thought of my family's recent trip that we took to California a little over a year ago.  We had such a wonderful time together as a family and I enjoyed every second of it.  I created this page using some of the black and white photos that were taken the day we went to Big Sur.


I can hear the words to this song asking me to never forget the precious things in life, and to never take them for granted. They seem to express the simple joy that should always be in our lives. Our time in this world is short . . . relax  . . . “just breathe.”

Stop by Scrapping the Music and see what the design team has created this week!  Please think about creating a project yourself and joining in on the fun!
