The days are long, but the years are short

If you are a parent, please stop and watch this short 1-minute video. This was created by Gretchen Rubin who reminds us “The days are long, but the years are short”.  This is such a powerful and true statement. I don’t know how you feel but the years seem to fly by.  So often we take things like the ride to school for granted. This is a very fast paced world we live in and it is difficult to recognize when we need to slow down. One of the most powerful things that this video reminded me of is that this is their childhood that is happening right now as we speak. Many of us can relate to getting overwhelmed in our everyday lives and not stopping to enjoy the little moments that are happening all around us. Warning, If you are like me this video may bring tears to your eyes because you may see yourself in it. If you love being a mom as I do, take some time out of your day and allow yourself to slow down enjoy moments with your children. Maybe even allow yourself to act like a kid for these are the moments your children will remember!  My next book will be http://www.happiness-project.com/
