I confess…I make the HUGE mistake of not living in the moment (my bad). When I’m at the swings with the kids, I’m mentally making a grocery list. When we are having dinner together, I quiz them down about where I’m supposed to be chauffeuring them over the weekend. When it’s just me and the baby, I break out my blackberry and go on twitter to catch up on current events (really – twitter is my CNN).
And then I capture a moment like this…
and I realize that I need to be “in the moment” more often.
We need to play more. We need to go out as a family more. We need more moments. Because the moments pass by so fast…
That picture is of my son…a year ago. How did a year pass? It felt like it was just yesterday he was in a jumperoo. And now he’s sitting all by himself. Geez Louise his babyhood is zipping past me.
I need to focus on the joyful moments. And live in them. Entirely.
