So I began to think about all the moments in my life that I constantly rush through. I can’t count the times I have said, "I can’t wait for Friday", and it was only Monday! Or when I asked a colleague, "how many more days until Spring Break?"(15), or when I felt a wave of disappointment on Sunday evening because I knew that Monday was right around the corner. My daughter helped me to realize that instead of longing for the next future thing to happen, I need to embrace what is happening in that very moment. Oh, did I mention that my daughter is AMAZING!
Enjoy your weekend friends! I know I will…every last minute of it!

My life has changed so much since I've started appreciating every second at a time, it is truly wonderful how each second is

Your daughter IS amazing (and a cutie too)! Love this post, as I get ready to go back to work from my Spring Break. I will think about this all week! :)

I think anticipation can be a good thing. Yes, you must live in the moment but we shouldn't loose the anticipation of what is to come.
"Remember the Past, Live the Present, Look to the Future."
Your daughter is a WISE young woman!!! She is so right!
Have a pretty day!!!!

I don't think I've ever heard a kid say that. You must reveal your secret so I can use it at home. I guess we look forward to the weekend because it's fun time with family. The week is somewhat limited. We just need to make it work. Great post.
Thanks ladies! She is a exceptional young lady and I am not just saying that because she is my child! She always amazes me with her wisdom!

Yea... she's pretty awesome. Totally my motto -- happiness is a journey, not a destination. Except I don't entirely feel that way right now w/grad school b/c I can't wait to graduate. Except, I can.
What can I say that hasn't already been said. I wake up claiming everyday to be a beautiful day so I have not choice but to enjoy and not rush through it. Although some days when I'm teaching...sighs..that's a different thing all together. @Alicia, I have a candle on my bedroom dresser with that quote.
