Chasing Time

It seems like there are never enough minutes in the day to get all the things done that are on our to do list.…  juggling work, family and life in general is a balancing act at times.  You manage to do amazing things in one area of your life, while other areas take a hit.  In my life……having  a clean house definitely takes the hit…never gonna happen.  We live amongst piles of clean clothes (I take pride in that point….clean clothes rarely make it to their drawers), a pile of odd socks sitting in the family room waiting for their other half to reappear, dirty dishes sitting on the counter all day long (however, I can’t go to sleep at night if they are in the sink), smelly hockey equipment sitting in the closed bag by the front door, need I say more?…… and that’s ok.  We are enjoying other aspects of life….after school catch up chats (one of my fav’s), evening couch cuddles while watching some form of sport or reality tv, long walks….. Life is not a race……for me it’s more about fulfilment, happiness and taking the time to be grateful for where you are, what you have and the people you love.  It’s about allowing yourself to slow down……  I love this quote from Ferris Bueller: “Life moves pretty fast.  If you don’t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
