Yesterday I was busy reading blogs and reading other sorts of stuff online and I ended up reading a similiar thing in two different places. I feel like 'someone' was trying to tell me something so I will share.

This article was talking about how we dont value time enough and appreciate life ENOUGH, which I totally agree with. Most work days I am waiting for 5 oclock to come. I feel like Im just wasting the day away. No wonder I think that time flies. If I would reflect and enjoy every thing I do, I think I would find more joy in my life and reduce stress. I have all the time in the world, I always have time to do stuff.
Dan is a good reminder of this. He tries to cuddle or spend time with me or whatever, and Im always trying to wash the dishes or clean or something since I feel like ' I dont have time'. Which actually is a lie, because I do. Dan reminds me he wants to be with me NOW and the other stuff can wait, I totally agree, he is WAY more important, I should give that time to him, not chores. I can do them after I spend time with him.
Maybe its a female thing I dont know. I always say I can never relax until everything is done or else I just think about how I need to do those things. But Im consciously going to change my way of thinking.
I read a blog yesterday, the writer asked herself this: "When did we become so fast paced and stop desiring to take in the beauty of the world? Sometimes are we so fixated on the destination that we can’t enjoy the ride?" I totally agree. Ive been waiting for Dan to finish school, waiting for us to have kids, waiting to move somewhere warm. I think its good to look forward to things but it seems like at some point you just wish your whole life away. You stop living in the moment and you are only living for the future. Then your kids are grown and you are waiting for grandchildren. Why not enjoy the time you have before you have kids? Or the time before you move somewhere else? These are questions I ask myself. I like (I use this word loosely when it comes to working lol) working full time, being able to do what I want, I have plenty of alone time with Dan. I dont want to get all caught up (which i do) in wanting our lives to move forward, I want to enjoy our lives now! :) I know that once we do have children, we will reminense about the times before kids, or the times when Dan was in school or when we were working a part time job together.
Im going to enjoy every minute and stop waiting for "5 o'clock".

I totally agree with this! We're ALL guilty of doing this, I'm going to try to stop, too! Live every moment for what it is. My baby's turning 5 in 2 weeks...trust me, time flies! LOL!
