Pictures can be powerful. Am I right? I mean they can easily show an emotion, a thought, a feeling, a reaction, a memory in the making, etc. As I browsed through the past few pictures on my camera and phone, I saw just that. One big BALL of LIFE wrapped around a Snap Shot.
Let me explain, or rather, let the pictures explain.
And the words, feelings, and emotions of life that go along with it? See Below.
Stormy, but calm
fed, but hungry
hopeful, but eager
still, but moving….
and ready for what else is in store.
What’s your life snapshot look like today?
Cheers,
LC

my snapshot for today would have to be calm but excited.
excited by a few things coming up, but calm and relaxed after a big (exhausting but GOOD) day yesterday.
…and now we are in Tornado Watch in Missouri, so I am cautious but hopeful?

Kris recently posted..double rich chocolate protein cookies
what?!! on kris, be safe!! get close and cuddle up. Thinking of you. Love you!!
It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but so much fun! Snapshots would include lots of smiling, laughter, love, and opening the heart. Lots of fun, but as always it went by way too quickly. Here’s to a new week…Glad you get to do some yoga when you get back into town.
She Rocks Fitness recently posted..My Newest Breakfast Obsession!
yes! that is a good weekend. quick but well enjoyed! You do that well friend.
He. My snapshot of my life today would be my couch. It’s been a rainy, windy, miserable day and I’ve been loving laying on my couch reading and doing crosswords. With a little bit of baking and some light working thrown in for good measure.
(I lied. I spent 3 hours at my office working this morning. That feels like yesterday!)
Katie recently posted..Books: Reviews and some confessions
you are a workaholic, but thats okay, cause youre kinda good at your job. I laid around today too. Rainy day and lets just say i couldn’t stray to far. haha
Isn’t it fun looking through all the pictures on our phones/computers?
I’ve been thinking about your trip to Dallas, how did things go?
Meg recently posted..The final stretch
i’m still here, about to go into the lab for the testing, colononscopy, etc. oh fun! but i didn’t want to take a picture of that part of life. haha!! all over soon though. phew!
Hmm, we had a wonderfully fun Saturday wine tasting in Fredericksburg and then today was back to reality with the kids and planning for the upcoming week. So, maybe recharged and ready to go? That is, after I get a good night’s sleep tonight, of course.

Lou recently posted..child labour
Love it…my snapshot would have to be ‘tired, but wired’. You know those days when you feel pooped but just can’t wind down cuz there is so much shiz that needs to get done!
ahhh totally can relate. hope today brings a little rest and relaxation.
My snapshot looks like I need to take more pictures. Great perspective Lindsay!
Chuck recently posted..Headwinds

Beautiful post! I love the ending words. Very powerful.
Katy recently posted..Don’t Stop, Keep Going

Miz recently posted..Four shocking things about Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites.
i’d say your snap shot has alittle tornado in it. hehe
A group of flowers in different stages of new openings in a field of decomposing flowers. The sunlight streams down and illuminates certain points of both sets of flowers, and changes directions/angles every so often.
So much is being completed now. It births new life. So much clarity and moments of insight are had on the past, the future, and yet… so much stillness is right here, right now. All life is focused on the present.
i love your words wendy. thank you.
LOVE this post!! it is beautiful!! i love the hopeful and eager! right now I’m totally with you on the fed but hungry…I blame that snapshot of the pizza
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) recently posted..My Weekend and My Personality!

Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health recently posted..Marathon Monday
loved seeing them through instagram. amazing CHEERfuL shots!
Love the pictures!! The clouds look so cool in that first one. Today my snapshot looks relaxed. I decided to take an extra day for spring break and I am glad I did!
Tara recently posted..Rugged Glory and Splattered Paint
and i hope you are still in your pj’s too!
Oh love this!! Little snippets into your life. I have been loving your posts lately because they are so intrinsic and simple but so powerful at the same time. LOVE the mindset you are in right now!! Snapshot of life for me today includes watching the Boston Marathon (Wish I was there!), windows open, enjoying the randomly warm weather and teaching at the new studio later toda!!
jobo recently posted..What never gets old.
i wish i was there with you. perfect snapshot. perfect setting. perfect day.
Beautiful, Lindsay.. loved this post. I know it’s corny but pictures really do say a thousand words. one of the reasons why I love photography!
Sabrina @ Radioactive Runner recently posted..What do you choose?
me too!! there is so much meaning behind them. i agree!
The picture would be of a middle aged women who feels like the same young girl inside, struggling to keep her household of five together, happy and connected.. she catches herself fretting over small things and reminds herself that everything will OK. She is no longer the the picture, but rather the frame….however, no masterpiece has ever had a flimsy, run down frame.. they have to be equally as beautiful and this thought gives her peace and a sense of calm. – thank you for delivering posts that makes us ponder and resolve.. Happy Monday love! xo
Lisa @ RunWiki recently posted..Trail Confessions
wow oh wow! now thats the answer i was looking for from you. So bold, and true! You are a snapshot of faith, determination, compassion, and STRENGTH!
You can see so much emotion in these photos! You’re right about how photos convey so much depth of meaning.
My snapshot for today… content. 
Rach recently posted..Little known fact about me…
content is good. i can picture that now rach.
I think I’m at hopefull, but reluctant!
So much coming AND ending! It’s bittersweet and wonderful all at the same time!
Laura @ LauraLivesLife recently posted..It’s called Monday…
ooh yes, thats a good one. bittersweet can be very good!!
So simple yet so thought provoking…life is all about balance!!
Happy Monday!
LizAshlee recently posted..Body in Motion Challenge
balance, yes. As long as we are trying, right?
pictures can be powerful! love those shots too
snapshot for today was probably a train wreck or something haha JK, just things are all over the place right now, things are everyone, hopefully soon we can get back to normalcy! that is our goal by the end of the week!
Pure2raw twins recently posted..our weekend
trainwrecks happen but then they are put together again with love and strength. You got this!
I love pictures! Words are not needed, they just get in the way.
My life snapshot from today would have been inspired and ready! Inspired by all the runners in Boston today and ready to tackle my own marathon!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama recently posted..The Unpleasant Side Effects of Running
thats a great snapshot. INSPIRED and READY is a good place to be friend.
I loved this visual “peek” into your day. Pictures really do say 1000 words, and sometimes they capture emotion that words simply can’t describe.
My “snapshot” today was a number of images spent outside in the beautiful sunshine with my brother, who just returned to DC from Germany. It was so wonderful to catch up with him!
Sara @ Nourish and Flourish recently posted..Chocolate Chip Coconut Banana Protein Bars
oh good, you need some downtime with the family. I love that sara. ENjoy that snapshot!!
Hi friend,
Love the photos, and the new design of your blog. Great job!

Adore Instagram and other photos updates – sometimes you don’t have to say a thing:)
You’re family is adorable!
i agree. photos capture so much!
Love!

Fox Peterson recently posted..What I eat Wednesday: It was a pretty fishy week
thank you for reading friend.
This week has been quite eventful and busy!! We had our gala premiere on Monday –the “pink carpet” event had many Swedish celebrities in attendance. David and I walked the “pink carpet” as well (although it was freezing out!).
On Tuesday was our official premiere, with press in the house. The reviews have been very good and positive — whew! The opening was also Valentine’s Day, and we had a wonderful party with the cast after the show.
