Well, both the girls have gone to school, and Alex and I are trying to go back to our routine. I am exhausted, I must have been channeling Alyssa today, because I was running around cleaning and cooking and crossing things off that to do list like I had a magic wand. I was all kinds of productive and now I am all kinds of exhausted. There has been a little talk about inclement weather...it doesn't seem likely, but tomorrow would be a good day to sleep in.
I look at this photo and I just wish sometimes that I could stop time for a little while. I wish I could just freeze these moments......so I could enjoy the kids as they are now. Life seems to change so fast...all of life. The world is always turning, always evolving, We are always evolving. Relationships are always evolving. I often wish that I could just stop the process once in awhile, so that I could just take it all in....so that I could just really enjoy it...my life...my world. The times are few...if they exist at all when we really just stop to sit back and take it all in. There is always something else in the back of our mind...something that calls our attention to yesterday or tomorrow. It would be such a gift to just stop time so we could just pause in the here and now...just to sit and take in the world around us...all we are blessed with...for a few moments...before everything started moving again.
Since that is not a possibility. Tomorrow I will try to look at everything...my kids, my coworkers. the same old scenery on the way to work with a new appreciation for what makes up the every day of my life. I will be thankful for where I am.and who I am with....and who I am. I will try so very hard to spend a couple of moments in the present...not thinking about what was or what will be...but simply taking a moment to be in the now. I will breathe it in...I will be thankful for it and I will vow to do it more often.
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle"
