Today was the first day of fall and I realized that I have ‘fall’en behind on keeping up the blog posts. Why does time seem to go by so fast? I remember being a kid and thinking next week would take forever to get to, now here we are creeping onto October and holiday festivities to end 2017.
I will say that Autumn is probably my favorite season. I love the cooler weather and the fun family nights playing board games and eating slow cooker meals while a new show is on. I love the colors of the leaves, the holiday preparations, scarves and cozy sweaters. Crisp mornings that my little guy likes to come in and cuddle for a few minutes before we have to get up for the day. I think I also like it because it makes me realize what the year brought. 3/4ths of the year is over and it is now that time where you ask yourself…What have I accomplished? What didn’t I do that I want to do this year? What did I learn? What did I do to be a blessing? What makes this year one that is memorable and meaningful? So as the busy times come and the end of the year flies by—start reflecting. When you are exhausted (and I am so guilty of this) and you are dealing with that threenager , realize next year you will be missing that three year old. Put down your phone (again super guilty here) and have a conversation with your loved one where all your focus is on them. Go let your kid jump in the puddles and join them! Heck go slide in the mud. Whatever is important to you, make time for it. We still have some time to make 2017 the best! Don’t let time get away from you like it so easily does, make those moments count and make them memorable! FALL BEHIND in things that don’t matter, so you spend your time on what does.
