Focus on the Now

Doesn't it seem like we are always looking ahead?  While I think it is great to have things to  look forward to, we shouldn't forget to appreciate today and everything it holds.  I have so much coming up in my life, it is easy to forget this.  I can't wait to move at the end of the month and get in our dream home.  I can't wait for my birthday in March.  I can't wait for summer (especially with the frigid temps we have had lately).

All of these are fabulous things to look forward to, but it's important to live in today.  Take a day (or two) off from frantically packing.  Spend the time playing with your puppy (or baby).  Play a game with a friend.  Stop putting things off until that big moment happens.  Right now, I am trying to continue to see my friends instead of following my instinct to do nothing but pack until we move.  We are doing our taxes (super fun!) and getting Avery groomed this weekend.  Hopefully her haircut is awesome!
