Embrace

I was reading a blog today and read this quote, "embrace time spent together". So simple yet very profound. Maybe it is the events that have transpired in the last two weeks, the time spent with family, my children growing at the speed of light, I want to embrace, cherish, and not squander the time I spend with those I love - my husband, my children, family and friends. Time is speeding up.

I don't know if it is just me but events happen in the blink of an eye. Birthdays fly by and since we celebrate all of my kids in two days, back to back, in February, they come and go in an instant. I want to slow down, take note and enjoy...be still.

It seems like only yesterday that my sweet kiddos were clinging to my legs, needing me for everything. Now I am texting them, wondering when they will be home and busy trying to coordinate our schedules.

I love the quote by Pres. Hinckley, "Life is ment to be ENJOYED, not just endured".

Enjoying the time that I have in this life to experience, explore, not just endure to ENJOY...to cherish.
