I am getting completely swept up in the feeling that time is flying. It might be the fall-ish weather we have been experiencing. We had one beautiful week of summer-esque temps and now, it has been five straight days of doom and gloom. This sense of being in fast-forward mode happened last year too. Around June, I started to think... it will be Christmas before I know it. Then snap, it was. My days feel so full right now, I can't help but feel it will be next year in a heart beat... again.
I find myself pausing amongst the full minutes of any given day to take a deep breath and just appreciate. My life is so very good. I know it, and I want to feel it through and through. Granted, not every moment is good... the kids bicker like cats and dogs when they can't get out side. But it is things like squabbles that balance the euphoria and help time slow down a bit, ya know. Day after day is happening before my eyes and I try to hit the pause button here and there so that I can have moments to savor. Like taking a second to snap an image of a dogwood bloom in the wee morning hours as I run outside to grab my camera out of the car while it rained. Slow down. Take it in.
Do you ever wake up on Monday morning, think what will we do today, then suddenly it is Friday night, and you can't imagine where the week went? How do you pause to appreciate? What thoughts do you find yourself rewinding to?

Yes, I can so relate to the Monday morning-Friday night thing! And I really think that all the wonderful people in our life (like you) reminding us to slow down and appreciate, help to make that possible. Thanks for all you do and are. :)
I hear ya...I feel the same!!! Time goes so quickly, which makes it all the more precious and I feel like I've wasted too much time!!!
Thanks for the reminder...
Enjoy the day...
Cheers
My problem is that I am not going to bed at decent hours and so literally the days are blending! I need to get some balance back in my life. Stat. And you always remind me to stop and appreciate the little things, Miss Kerry. That is why I love to come here.
Enjoy the day!

Kerry, I love the Dogwood photo! Would make a great image for one of your blank note cards. :-)
Just today my Dad was talking about how time is flying by. I really think it goes faster and faster every year. That's what they always said about the older you get....
It really is going by quickly! My husband said just the other day, before you know it, it will be winter again and i fear he's right! I used to get so much accomplished during the off season months and now it seems like they slip by and nothing gets accomplished. Slowing down to take photos really has helped me recently to stop and apprecitae the little things.
