I’m really enjoying creating new blog banners (the banner at the top of my blog ). it’s a small project so I can do it in just a few minutes, but it lets me be creative and have a little "time out" from everyday stuff. That quote above is my very favorite quote. I keep it posted around my house. It helps me remember that my kids (ages 5, 4 and 2) won’t be small forever. It helps me to live in the moment, to enjoy the process (hence my blog name) to not be so caught up in the "rush" of life, to listen to their stories (that sometimes last for several minutes), to smile at them, to stop what I’m doing and really pay attention to what they have to say because it’s REALLY important, to delight in the things they delight in (like Star Wars and Legos), to not be so concerned about having time for myself- I’ll have plenty of that later in life, I’m sure. And then I’ll miss the little dirty footprints on my wood floors and i’ll miss having to strap them in to their carseats, and I’ll miss buttoning their pants for them and cleaning up their spills. I probably won’t miss cleaning the toilet in my boys’ bathroom though 🙂
