We have always loved this quote and it was so fun to unpack it. Here it is: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.” by Maya Angelou
Do you find yourself always thinking about the future and forgetting to live in the moments of the present. Sara shared that she gained a fresh perspective on time with her boys as we looked at this quote. Perhaps she wasn’t able to spend time with her boys on these last days before school starts because of work, BUT she was giving her boys the “gift” of creating moments with their grandparents. And also giving her mom and dad the chance to pour into her kids. These are the moments that matter. Lisa shared her gratitude for the moments she recently got to crate with her parents, camping and bike riding near Lake Michigan. People are the real gifts that we get to enjoy, and these are the moments that live on forever. Kelly chimed in about the big decision her family made one year ago, to move from CO to KY, and to move closer to family. This has allowed her so many more connections and strengthened those relationships.
Can you relate? Are you living in the moment of life, and pausing to reflect and well up with gratitude? Or is this a challenge for you?
