So the New Year has come and gone, and January 2016 is
already winding down. I’m shocked. How am I supposed to enjoy these moments
with my kids while they’re home if time keeps zipping along at warp speed?
I think someone is trying to tell me something. Something
very important.
Cherish the moment. Every single one of them. The good. The
bad. The quick. The slow. Quit saying “if I can just make it till….” Because
doing so only speeds up the very thing I’m trying to slow down. Time.

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. I look at them as new year challenges instead. My first one is going to be a commitment to live in the moment.
All of them. Regardless of what’s going on at the time. Regardless of what I
might be dreading to do, or have happen or how hard it might be.
You see, both my sweet girls have already left for college a few years ago. I
still can’t wrap my brain around it. And my son is a junior in high school this
year. I’ve got one more year before the dreaded empty nesting starts. LOL
Yes, I’m dreading it with a passion. But I’m not going to
let it steal my joy or all the precious moments and chances to make memories before it
gets here. Nope, not gonna do it.
Bring on the tennis tournaments, the trips to and from the two
different colleges my daughters attend for visits, the birthdays, the
graduations, marriages… gulp. I’ll stop there. No need to get too far ahead of
myself, right?
In the meantime, I’m happy to report I’ve been writing up a
storm. Editing along the way, too. I didn’t make the goal I’d set for myself last
year as far as writing went. Sometimes those goals are just not meant to
be. Wishful thinking on my part. But I did finish a new book. Yeah! And I hope to
have some very exciting news to share really soon.
2016 is going to be a Terrific Adventure and one wild crazy ride
for sure!
Even if it drives me to drink! Ha! Good thing I found out tequila can help you lose weight. No really! I read an article! LOL
A win, win situation as far as I'm concerned!
Bring on the Margaritas!! Let's celebrate!!
