Daylight savings

Things That Went Right Today:

1) Leftovers for lunch from our Korean BBQ dinner. Delish!
2) Discovered a great home decor magazine called Veranda.
3) Mary Kay starter kit arrived.


Yesterday we changed the clocks for daylight savings time and it got me thinking...how cool would it be if we actually COULD save time? Take a particularly wonderful hour or day and store it somewhere to relive over again whenever we wanted to. What would you save? Your wedding day? The moment you held your oldest child in your arms for the very first time? The morning your 6 year old rode his bike without training wheels? The last day you spent with your grandmother before she passed away? Or what if we could actually create extra time? What would you do with it? I personally think more naps would be great. Or maybe some charity work that I've had a hard time getting to. Working on the family photo albums. Reading with my kids. Learning to play the piano or speak French.

Unfortunately time is pretty much a constant. We cannot extend it or alter it. The best that we can do is make the most of the time that is allotted to us. By focusing on the good and being fully present in the activities of our lives...emotionally involved and interacting with people...we cement those moments into beautiful memories that we can recall and "relive" well into the future. And by pondering on what truly matters most to us in our hearts we can hopefully make better choices as to how we spend our time. Offload some of the things that aren't that important and free up more time to spend on the things that will bring us true peace and joy. I am thankful this day for all of the beautiful moments in my life that turned into the memories I cherish.
