Savoring Life's Precious Moments

You know there comes a time in your life when you finally "GET IT"! 
Sometimes it is brought on by sad and tragic events whether it be illness, accident or death. 
At that point when you "GET IT" the world & all that is in it, looks & feels different.

You realign your priorities in all areas of your life.....personally, religiously, familial, professionally & socially.

I recognize that everything I choose to do, whether actively or passively, takes time from my day & either adds to the precious moments in my day or robs me of moments leaving me with empty gaps of nothingness where there should be rich memories.

Life is such a balancing act, every moment of every day trying to choose those things which are of lasting importance.

So my house may never be as clean and organized as I would like, it will never be styled & beautiful like the pictures I pin on Pinterest.  My yard will never be something in House & Garden, my closets will never be filled with the quilts of my daydreams.  Time in the house/garden/sewing room takes a back seat to Playing Lego's, Barbies, bike rides, teaching little people to sew & cook, Fixing them a huge bubble bath & watching them play in it.  Being on the ready for any number of other impromptu activities.

While there are many days I feel as if I will never get caught up, thankfully there are many more days that I smile as I recall & reflect on the many opportunities I am taking to savor life's truly precious moments.

Live in the present.....yesterday is gone & you can never get it back, tomorrow comes with no guarantees.  So live in the here and now!
