Time flies....

Wow, its so funny how when you’re a kid and you’re in school, it is taking forever and it just feels like time is crawling. All you do is count down until the last period bell rings and you wonder why life moves soooo sllllooowww. And then you grow up, get married, have a baby or two, or three, or four and as soon as you blink your eyes another year has passed! What changed? Did life become more enjoyable? Did it now click about how short life really is and you better make the best of it? I don’t know but I think it works like that for everyone. It seems like I was just counting down the days for graduation wondering if it could be any slower and all of a sudden my 4 year wedding anniversary is coming up and my baby boy is moving into the toddler room at daycare. The only thing I can ask myself is “did I enjoy it?” Because honestly I don’t remember. I hope I did. I wish I could have some of that slow down time that was so abundant in school so I can use it now. Too bad they only way to get that now is to go running on the treadmill or have your teeth pulled ha! Oh well no point in dwelling on the past. All it does is take away from the future. So for now I will just try and make sure I enjoy all the small things that happen every day. Like the way Matthew runs to his high chair yelling “I eat, I eat!” he does that a lot now. Or a good song that comes on the radio. The warm weather that is perfect for taking a walk around the neighborhood, I am really missing that! A good book and so on. I think that is what I am going to try for from now on. Really enjoying life because there is no pause or rewind button. So this week as I take Matthew into daycare to the toddler room for the first time I am going to enjoy it because before long I will be taking him to the big boy school!! Yikes!! And since this is a totally random pointless post I wanted to share a quote from Gandhi that I heard for the first time but I really liked it! “Be the change you want to see in the world”. I LOVE it! I wish more people thought like that.
