Can I just take some time to reminisce for a second. My daughter came up to me this week and said, "Mom! In 10 years I'll be 17." Those words stopped me dead in my tracks. I'll be honest that my first thought was, ugh, in 10 years I'll be 40. Then her words truly sunk in. 10 years from now, she will have graduated high school and we will be getting ready for her to start college. I got caught up in the future thoughts of buying dorm stuff and memories I have with my mom in those times. Then I thought about the first time I held her in my arms. I remember it like it was yesterday and thinking about how these 7 years have flown by. These next 10 years will fly by faster than I would like or like to admit. We all need the reminder sometimes to stop and enjoy every moment, good or bad. My reminder came in the form of my little girl wanting to grown up. I'm excited to see what these next 10 years have in store for us as a family of 3...
Take no day for granted!!!!
Till next time....
