Today

It seems as though life is speeding by at record pace and as life speeds along, we can get lost along the way.  I was inspired to start a blog, mainly for myself, to capture the parts of each day that make me step back and say, "wait a minute, I don't want to miss this moment".  There were two such simple events today but to me, they seemed as vital to me as the oxygen we breathe.  The first was we all sat down together to eat dinner and for a few short moments, we were all in the same room, at the same time.  No one was rushing out the door, gettting a text message, or otherwise disengaged.  Those moments are becoming few and far between.  The second was taking 30 minutes out of a hectic evening to put on a sweatshirt and walk in the crisp fall air, with my husband and baby girl (o.k., she's 10 but always my baby), by my side.  I'm trying to treasure these moments as they are all gone too quickly.
