Hurry Up, Slow Down.

Lately I have found myself at a very interesting point of contradiction...

On the one hand, I am anxious to regain full strength and mobility since my recent surgery. I have felt so limited by the inability to do even the simplest things. It has taken much discipline and mental fortitude to tell myself  "no" and to slow down. As each week passes I am getting stronger. But I find myself wishing that time would move more quickly so that I would be more physically able to do all the things that I want and need to do!

At the same time I am watching my children grow bigger by the day! Little Marshall is just over 3 months old and already he is out of the "baby stage" and beginning to look like a little boy. It is amazing how fast they grow!

My little girl is playing the piano and the violin, and singing, and taking ballet, and starting preschool! And it was just yesterday that she was in my arms, and I could not take my eyes off of her.

So, with each day that passes I am caught in the middle of a battle. A battle for time. Time that I want to speed up. And time that I want to slow down.

And the sad fact is...I can't do either.

So, I am choosing to just live every moment to the fullest. Because I know one thing for sure, TODAY IS A DAY THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE AGAIN.
