Life

Ever stop to wonder how some moments seem to last forever, but all of a sudden a month, a season, or a year has gone by? It amazes me how time flies. I blinked and my 'baby' is getting ready for Kindergarten screening... I blinked and my youngest is speaking in sentences, figuring things out more and more... I think I should stop blinking! Well, I guess that really isn't a feasible option at all. So onto Plan B... I have really taken an effort as of late to try and focus on the good moments throughout my day(s) and to enjoy them.

I sometimes think we are all rushing to get somewhere, but cannot ever get there. Why do we do that? I'll admit that I feel more 'rushed' on the days I'm at CVS... perhaps that is because I have people staring at me while I check a prescription on the chance it might be theirs! or the 300+ Rx's that somehow pass thru my hands in any given day, or just the need I feel to not let others have to wait.... Whatever the reason, my efforts to relax and enjoy the moments is much more difficult at work than at home, but I am trying. :-)

It makes sense that it is easier at home... At home, I have two beautiful, healthy, loving girls to ground me... to keep me focused on what matters in life. At times the dust bunnies, the clutter, and other 'housekeeping' tasks frustrate me or I feel like I am not doing 'it' all, but then I see Mikayla standing there with her Little People Farm Book and saying "Mommy. Read. Book. Please. (Super cute smile!)" and how can I say "No."? Or Abi asks to work on a project with her. The moments I get to spend sitting around the kitchen table creating is wonderful... whether it be creating with Play-Doh or scissors, paper, glue, and markers.

Hope that everyone is enjoying the moments... before a lifetime has passed.
