so a new year has started.
I remember when I was young that time moved so slowly. Nothing happened when you thought it would and one year sounded and seemed like forever.
O what I would give for that slow year. That long lasting time. Now thing go to quickly. Time flies by so fast., and one year. That just isn't long enough.
The kids grow too fast. The months pass to fast. The world moves to fast.
It is true, just when you think everything that needs to be done is done, and you have a few minutes to stop and smell the roses. There is more to do. Things you forgot. Thing others need from you. Things you added to yourself.
So my goal this year. ( among others of course ) Take a breath. slow my steps, look around and enjoy the beauty that is everywhere.
I will listen to the wind and watch the birds in the trees. I will look at the clouds like I did when I was a child. I will hold the hugs a little longer, even if the kids think I am weird. I will find joy in silence. I will enjoy the snow fall. ( I really will )
I think what I am saying is I will try my best to slow down and look around me. I will find peace in my imperfection and know that I can be made better through my savior, and I will be OK with that.
