Moving in the fast lane......
Wow sometimes life moves in the slow lane and when it does I never take the time to enjoy the quietness of it. So when life is moving in the fast lane I can remember those quieter times. Why is it as humans we are like this? I mean I am definitely the kind of girl who loves a fast paced life. I love the thrill of working under pressure and in the last minute moment. Something about it just gives me a high. Yeah I know I am weird, LOL. But it feels like sometimes I miss the good stuff. You know the stuff in life that happens when things are slowing down. When did I stop taking time to watch that sunset? When did I stop taking time to enjoy the simpler things? How many "moments" have I missed with my children because I had other things to do. I am making it my solemn goal to work on this issue. I don't want to look back and wish I had not missed that moment or wonder when my children grew up. Now you ask why today of all days are you reflecting on this. How come it hit you today. Yesterday I went in for my regular Diabetic check up and found out things are not going well. So what should have been a half hour appt turned into a two and half hour appt of poking, prodding, exams, and shots. I realized that although I have felt like I have been taking care of myself I have not been doing a great job. I don't want to go on insulin at 32 years old. I don't want my children to see their mom suffer the dabilitating areas of the disease. For these reasons I am taking responsibility and telling you all it is time for me to take a stand and start enjoying the lighter things. Maybe after I do that I will be able to make myself healthier and not wonder where the time has gone. So to all my Blog reading Diva's I hope you take the time today to notice the small things and take the time to see that sunset with your children. Trust me you will feel much better!
