#SaturdaySnapshot

When we snap a picture it is always capturing the best of that moment. Smiles, joy, pleasure, beauty. But what if, without our knowledge, snapshots were taken of the moment - best or not? What if the snapshot captured the scowl, the tears, the confusion, the anger, the frustration? What if there were snapshots that recorded pain, discomfort, ugliness, and misery? Would that make our lives any less? If snapshots captured the whole of our lives, not just the best moments, I suspect that as we flipped through the albums we would get a better perspective on the whole of life - not just the happy, shiny moments. What's so beautiful about life is the mix of both the happy moments and the unhappy moments. They all come together to make quite a beautiful life.
