I realize you are all well aware of the fact that time flies. But today I'm reminding you so maybe you'll take a little break from the craziness of the day and enjoy some quiet moments.
This morning, as my seven-year old son was leaving for school, I was marveling at how big he's gotten. Seven years old and he is so tall -- the top of his head is at the top of my shoulder already! Granted, I'm short -- about 5'4" -- but my goodness he's getting big. It's hard to believe that not so long ago, he was a toddler. Not anymore.
Later, as I was getting my two-year old out of his crib, I realized how big he's getting too. I asked him if he would stay little for me -- he said yes. (The child says yes to most every question I ask, but that's okay -- I'll take it!) Then, as if he sensed I was feeling a little bit sad about my children growing up, he hugged me as tight as he could and let me hold him and rock him for a good four or five minutes. He's been very lovey this morning -- and I am eating it up!
So today is one of those days when I feel the need to just enjoy the moments. Yesterday was hectic -- tomorrow is going to be hectic. Today, could be hectic if I let it be -- but I think I may just not worry too much today about cleaning and what not. I'm going to enjoy my kids and let the other stuff go (a little bit anyway). Because really -- time DOES fly and these moments will be gone before I know it.
Why don't you do the same?? Take some time today to just enjoy your family -- your pets -- your friends. Don't worry too much about all the "stuff" that's always going to be there. It's not going anywhere.
So have a happy, happy Friday -- and enjoy the weekend!
