SO much of our life is made up of the tedious and day-to-day (dishes, lego, piano, etc) that if we DON'T pause to soak it up, then life is pretty much passing us by.<br />it's hard to 'enjoy' the chaos, though i'm trying :).<br />xolbbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826529370571588403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-10056251576658502632012-05-23T10:29:24.365-07:002012-05-23T10:29:24.365-07:00Ah, my biggest life lesson in the past two years. ...Ah, my biggest life lesson in the past two years. While we've dealt with some big challenges, I have really treasured those brief moments and hours where we are experiencing bliss, peace and calm. I have learned that those moments are life's happiness that is so talked about and sought. It's not a destination, it's brief moments to savor that carry you through life, especially in it's harder times. Thank you for the reminder & inspiration to keep savoring.kalanicuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853050797830829201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-25873780856502987002012-05-23T10:20:28.729-07:002012-05-23T10:20:28.729-07:00Beautifully put, Stephanie.

One thing I have been doing is savoring the little moments in my mind at night before I go to sleep.....just the little things (not the BEST or most exciting) but just the little things my kids did that day that makes them ....them. :)jorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693155339699548135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-79590294396752160222012-05-23T10:07:07.870-07:002012-05-23T10:07:07.870-07:00This brought tears to my eyes - your kids are beau...This brought tears to my eyes - your kids are beautiful.
