Sometimes with the kids, I feel like life speeds by so fast I get winded and don't take the time to slow down and look up. There's always something going on or somewhere to be. I'm always looking ahead to those bigger moments and lose sight of the journey in between.
The every day, simple, at first glance boring things can also be the extraordinary. Sometimes I'm afraid that it's all passing us too quick. The days are all a blur.
I don't want a blurred life. I want the "pause-and-reflect", "soak-and-absorb" life. Not the pace of events and busyness and full schedules, but the in between. The don't blink because this may seem so simple, so seemingly insignificant, but it's not. It's incredible, special and full of possibility. The possibility of greatness.
And in that moment, that greatness, there's a sense of calm and well-being. Because you noticed. You grasped. And you held on tighter than ever before.
