Small joys.

I can admit it.

I'm a dreamer.

I've been doing a lot of reflecting on my  life and dreams lately. Maybe it's the gorgeous weather, my husband loosing his job; maybe its just that I've slowed down enough to actually think.

To actually enjoy.

To remember what's important in life.

We are only given an x number of years to breathe.

I've had these old country lyrics bouncing in my head for quite some time:

"I'm in a hurry to get things done,

I rush and rush until life's no fun,

all I really gotta do is live and die,

but I'm in a hurry and don't know why."

I want to live. 

Really live .

I sat and played with my kids. I played make believe with my three year old. I had so much fun watching his smiles and sheer joy . It was so rewarding. I realized, why haven't I done this more often? Why am I rushing so much? This time will only happen once.

never again.

Don't always let time pass you by when you are so busy trying to get ahead.

Enjoy the small things now.

Live.
