flying by

I'm letting my summer fly by me and I don't like it one bit.

I have a sinful tendency to concentrate so many of my thoughts on future events that last for a couple of hours, instead of recognizing, loving, and appreciating that moment I am living right here and now.  

When the Hacker surprised me with his proposal, I didn't answer right away.  I told him to "hold on.  I want to remember to everything about this moment."  And I do.  I remember the exact spot he was kneeling, I remember the smell of the ocean breeze, the surfers on the beach, the butterflies in my stomach, and the contagious smile that was on my new fiance's face.  I'm so thankful that I did that.

I want to do that more often.

I am loving being a teacher during summer camp to 4 and 5 year olds. (This week was music week and the kids love them some Beiber -ha.)

I appreciate the heat, the sun, and yes, (don't throw stones at me) yesterday's humidity.

I recognize that I have a loving, humble, hard-working, loyal man as my husband who blesses me everyday by leading our tiny little family in the ways of the Lord.

My goal for the weekend is to live in it.  I want to be the cliche as I will be "stopping to smell the roses."  I will be saying "hold on, I want to remember this."  I want to live for today, for tomorrow may never be.

refusing to be on cruise control,
