Today, I really struggled with trying to think of a worthy blog topic. It's Monday, and my brain is still in Friday mode. This past weekend was Halloween, and today is finally November! I feel like October went by at the speed of light. I am sure I'll be saying the same thing about November on December 1st. I mentioned this before, but the next 4 months is going to go by so fast that I won't be able to stop and take a look around. It'll be Thanksgiving, Christmas, the baby shower, and then a baby before I know it. Whew. I think I need to take a breather just talking about it.
While I am on the topic of life flying by, I thought that would be a great blog to start off the week. Time is infinite, but we still run out of it. A moment literally passes by in a moment, and a lifetime is only filled with so many moments. I often wonder if I am making the most of the moments I have left. Some moments are more important than others, and only those special moments come ever so often. In a moment, our life could be cut short. It is scary to think how fast life goes by. Just the other day I was walking up the steps to my first day of Kindergarten at Jenkins Elementary. I swear, just the other week, I was waiting in line to walk on the football field and accept my highschool diploma. Oh my, it seems just yesterday I was putting on my wedding dress to walk down the isle. In just a few moments, 22 years came and went. I wish some of those moments I would have held on to for just a little longer. Like the moment I was walking down the isle with my dad in hand...I should have walked just a little slower. Or the moment I was waiting for the pregnancy test to finish. I could have waited in that moment just a little longer. I could have hugged a friend a few seconds longer, or kissed my husband one more time. When you sit and think about all those special moments and how fast they seem to go by, you come to realize the importance of treasuring every moment you still have left to fill. The moments we spend yelling or screaming at someone is a moment wasted when you could be telling them how much you love them or how important they are to you. The next moment you have with them could be the last. By all means we shouldn't live our moments thinking about the last one, but rather have a growing respect for the present. I urge you and myself to take each moment with a grain of salt...don't dwell on the past, but rather don't expect on the future. Live in your present and be thankful for the moments of right now. Treasure that last sip of coffee, the good morning kiss, the goodnight hug, the "see you laters", and the last bite of cake. You never know when the next moment will come.
