Savor And Soak In Every Moment
Years later, when our kids were born, I heard echoes of that advice from older moms who said, “Oh, enjoy this time. It goes so quickly.” This time, I decided, I would not let the warp speed of life turn these precious years into a blur. I have tried to savor and soak in every moment, every stage. It has been so rewarding. Unlike my wedding ceremony, I have thousands of rich, delightful memories with my kids that will still be precious long after they leave home.
Whether it is about time with family, friends, career, or the use of a particular gift, letting the days slip by and wondering “where did the time go?” is a surefire way to end up with weariness and regret. Let’s instead resolve to notice each day, and be glad in it.
