We've all heard the saying: Time flies when you're having fun. BUT let me tell you it flies all the time.
The last few weeks have flown by! Where did they go??? Last I checked it was summer and BAM! The leaves are changing and I'm sick of things that come in pumpkin. (Whom I kidding - I still like pumpkin.)
The nail in this coffin I'm talking about, derives from my trip to Home DePot. Outside I was reminded of how pretty the fall is with all the mums and fall plants on display. I was nice. HOWEVER, I walked into the actually store and I was blinded by the Christmas display. It's not even Halloween yet - WHAT GIVES???????
I'm all for celebrating anything. Life is full of so many wonderful things; things that should be celebrated. We shouldn't rush those moments. Savor and enjoy them. Make the moment count.
We also should not be rushed, day in and day out. I am constantly running around like a humming bird from moment to moment. (The stress and pressure make me do it. Oh how much I hate those two. I swear they have it in for me. But I'm onto them - they better watch out!) In those times I fear I miss the wonderful things that could happen.
I saw something wonderful today. A wonderful thing doesn't have to be a big thing. What was wonderful today was simply this: my son's joy while running. Today was my second 5K - ever. As some may know, recently busted my foot, so this was no fast paced race. I assumed that my son would most likely want to walk the whole thing. How wrong I was. He's a little spitfire! He ran and ran and loved it! He cheered me on, taunted me, made jokes, stopped to check out cool things along the run. I'm so happy I took the few hours out of my crazy working mom life to do this. Those moments we shared, so small and silly to some, were amazing for me.
So here's my skinnirage assignment for this week: enjoy the moments you have, no matter how simple they may be AND, most importantly, don't rush a thing (unless it's something gross, like, using a public bathroom.)
