Time Flies!

I am feeling a bit reflective today so I hope you will bear with me. I know it is so cliche to say "time flies" but it really is so true. Days go by so fast they are almost a blur and no matter how hard I try to slow down and embrace every moment of every day, I still feel that I miss out on so many moments that I wasn't able to capture. I really want to do better at this. I want to be able to be more spontaneous and do things that might not have been part of my plan. For example, I want to be able to leave my house in the morning without making the bed. I am pretty sure it wouldn't be the end of the world, but no matter what time I leave our house in the morning whether it be 4:30 AM or 8:00 AM, the bed will be made. I know other people have the ability to leave their houses with unmade beds so I am not sure why it is such a problem for me. I want to be like those people!! I want to walk out the door without everything perfect and feel good about it. I want to know I didn't waste four and one half minutes of every one of my days making my bed. When I was younger and shared a bed with my sister, I still got up and made the bed...that is my side of the bed, because she was still in her side...sleeping. I am sure it is hard for you to believe that she HATED sharing a room with me. My husband is very lucky because he leaves for work very early so he is gone when I begin making the bed. (Now that I think of it, that might be why he leaves for work so early.) The point I am trying to make is that I really want to be better at not worrying about the things in life that are so unimportant and I really want to focus on the things that matter. The other day when I was running I heard the song on the radio, "The Cats and the Cradle" and it really made me think; so much so that I called my son and asked him if he ever thought of me when he heard that song. He laughed and assured me that he didn't but I have really thought alot about it. I know I have made the mistake of putting off what really matters because of something "so important" I had to do but I hope all the people in my life know that what matters most to me is them...They are what makes my life complete. They are what brings me so much happiness...and, if I can squeeze in having all the beds in the house made then that is just the frosting on the cake.
