I need to go to the store, today
I have a big meeting at work, today
I have to take the kids to {you can fill in this blank!}, today.
in an attempt to slow.things.down and focus on what is really important in my life at the moment, the word 'today' has taken new shape, new focus, and new meaning.
because today is not about the here and now, the things that need to be jammed packed into one 24 hour period...
its about enjoying time.
its about waiting it out and seeing what develops
its about giving yourself to others when its not always comfortable
its about a little girl throwing rocks into the ocean for an hour...because 'today' she is 2 and she is growing fast, and this time will so quickly pass...
thanks to communal global for posing the question and making me think!
Beautiful post. It's so true, isn't it? They grow up way too fast and we just need to take time out to be with them. :)
