The gift of time.

I am struck this morning, by how quickly life changes. How often do we do simple tasks, or take part in special occasions, without seeing them for the gift that they truly are? How many times have we allowed a moment to pass, without soaking in-or recording-what that moment…or the people in it, meant?

Our memories are fleeting. The time we have to make them, goes even faster. Maybe we really do see each one as a gift. Maybe those are just nice words. Either way…the time continues to slide past.

I hear the ticking of the clock as I type. It reminds me of one that hung on my grandparent’s wall-and of an old song from the 70’s. “Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping….into the future.” (*Steve Miller Band, Fly Like an Eagle)

Cherish today, y’all. Well-planned or unexpected interruptions…love what you do with these escaping hours. Love the people in them, as well. Spending time with family and friends? Be present. Working on your business (or someone else’s?) Be present. Either way, it’s imperative to find balance between the two. Between people-and “stuff”- and time. And why they matter to you.

No matter how we may try to ignore it, the truth is: Yesterday is gone. We will never get it back. I don’t say that to sadden you, but to bring awareness.  Clarity.  Choose to be grateful for the people, the wins…and the lessons. Tomorrow will never come. Think about it. We have right now.

Well….we did. NOW we have right now. Wait. We DID…

You get the picture. <3  #James414

Thank you for being a special part of this ever-changing season. I’m grateful for you!
