Slow Down

I went to Target on New Year’s Eve and to my surprise they already had Valentine’s items and swimsuits out. Why can’t we finish one holiday before another one is forced down our throats? I am all about celebrating holidays but come on. It was 6 days after Christmas, not even a whole week. We took our trees down January 2, it was time. But that does not mean that I am ready to celebrate a holiday that is in February. Why can’t we enjoy the moment we are in instead of constantly looking forward?

I think I feel this way since I am a Mom. Time goes by so fast and my baby is growing up. I know that I am always saying that. It seems like when I was a kid the time would drag on. But the older I get the calendar flips faster.

I like the beginning of the year, getting a clean slate. Not knowing what the year holds is intriguing to me. What surprises will we have? What disappointments? I don’t know but whatever it is we will get through it all. I have a wonderful family and great friends and I intend to enjoy each moment that is given to me.

    I couldn’t have said it better, girl!! I even overheard the employees at Starbucks earlier this week talking about how they couldn’t believe they were selling Valentine’s items already. :) Guess this is what happens, we finally get what our parents always said about how time goes by too fast.
