Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much

My how the last month has just flown by. It has been a while since I have posted, I attribute that to not taking the time to let life inspire me to share. Somehow I have managed to let life's hectic pace take me from reflecting on the joy, to thinking about what else I need to be doing.

I realized this last night at a potluck that our son's daycare was having. We were playing and there were several older children that my son was playing with. He was so full of just wonderful joy and energy...... It was such a wonderful sight to see. It made me realize that I hadn't been taking advantage of every moment that life presents me to enjoy and celebrate just how wonderful things are. He was so alive in the moment, he showed me just what I hadn't been doing. He was squeezing the moment for all it was worth, not worrying about what was coming next, just enjoying the moment.

In those seconds I had a wow moment, I realized that I have been too busy worrying about what I wasn't getting done instead of focusing on what is right in front of me to be enjoyed.

I have let life get complex instead of keeping it simple. This was a great reminder to simplify my focus and let go of what is out of my control. Which made me think of the quote I read recently, "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much".

3 thing's to keep front of mind to ensure that your time is spent on pieces of life that deserve your attention. The rest has always taken care of itself and will continue to do so without you worrying about them.
