Times flies. Are you having fun?

Last Sunday (Nov. 13th) my husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. Wow! Can you believe it? It's both amazing and scary to think how fast time has passed by. Really. Think about it... We live in a world where everything is so fast pased that I often fail to take things in.

Let's just test it right now. Close your eyes for a second and take a deep breath in. Imagine that air invigorating you. Imagine it flowing through your lungs and giving you a fresh sense of being present. Wasn't that just awesome?

Now, I know that we can't take breaths like that all the time but we should do it more often. You see society today is so task driven which can be great for productivity but at the same time it can take away our ability to just enjoy the moment and just be. And in marriage and/or other important relationships we sometimes do the same. We can get so caught up in the rutine of life and responsibilities that we forget to breathe in the wonderful gift of a person God has placed in front of us. We forget to make each day with them count because tomorrow is just not guaranteed. We forget to just have fun!

Thinking about all this has made me take a step back today and think about all the people I have in my life and all the things I often take for granted and make it a point to start appreciating them more. To enjoy every single life giving breath and to be present. To make each moment count and to just have fun.

Will you join me?
