I wish I could pause life sometimes. When things are going well, I want to stop and just enjoy it. Life is going so fast. The days roll in to one and I never seem to have enough time.
Today I want to press pause. I don’t want my boys to grow up, I don’t want to get older and look back and wonder where the time went. I don’t want wish the time away… “well, next year we might have this, or we might to do that…” I just want to stop and smell the roses.
Do you wish the time away? Do you always strive for the next big thing? Are you wishing your kids were older, or you had more of something, or are you waiting for something to end?
Today I’m trying not to wish anything away. I want things to stay just as they are.
My sister-in-law (who has grown up children in their 20s) told me, when she looks back, her most settled time in life was when her kids were little and just starting school. She said things then travelled so fast. Now, she wishes she was back there with little kids.
My own Mum says “little kids little problems, big kids big problems“.
So, today I am wishing for a pause button.
