It seems like in life we are trying to juggle 10 things at a time and then we complain about having so much to do, there is not enough time or that we are tired. I feel like society pressures us into trying to cram so much into a 24 hours period that we can not remember if we scratched our watch or winded our head. We really need to take time to smell the roses.
I have had the same life motto for a few years. “One Day at a time, One step at a time” If you try to take 2 steps at a time you will trip and if you take no steps you are standing still. I really feel we need to pace ourselves. If we try to rush our day we are basically rushing our lives. Do we really want to be at the end of our lives and remember nothing?
I want to be an active participant in my life. I don’t want to be an observer on the sidelines that can’t remember much that has happened. I have talked before about being in the moment when my grandson was born. Most of that day was a blur. But the moment that he entered this world I was present and participating. I remember and can recall so much of that day.
Actually this weekend Bethanie, Lincoln and I went to Virginia to visit Lilie. We actually went to the beach on Sunday. It was Lincolns first time at the beach. I really made sure I was present in that moment. It was amazing to see him pick up the sand and let it fall out of his fingers. He was not too crazy about the wet and cold ocean water. I enjoyed enjoying that moment. Now it is a constant memory in my mind instead of a fading blur.
Take Care. Much Love
