a great time

Lately I've been working hard to remind myself that these are the moments that matter. There are great moments ahead, sure, but I tend to focus on the future and not allow what is happening right now to be appreciated. I'm so excited for my future. Great things are in store for me, and I'm ready. My career is about to get back on track, my girls will both be embarking on big adventures soon, I may someday again be in love. With these things ahead, it's kinda hard to stop and smell the roses.

Today I got SO excited as I observed someone I love living in the moment that it made me realize that five months have passed in which I have done little else than look ahead. I've had moments of appreciation for these days, but more than that, fear has driven me to look at the future and sort of latch on to it. That's dangerous. The future is uncertain. Now is definite.

I must continue to seek balance and find beauty around me everyday, not just in what may come in the future.

The time is now. xo
