So, it's here. A new year. A new number. And believe it or not, the first day is already almost over. You know...they say "Time flies when you're having fun." I think that's a ridiculous statement. Because time flies whether you're having fun or not. Remember when days were slower? Things weren't so fast paced, so frantic... I miss those days. I think about the small town I grew up in and wonder if time still takes its time there, or if that small town, too, travels at the same breakneck speed as the rest of us.
I wish time didn't move so quickly. It makes it so hard to savor each day. I guess the trick is to pick parts of the day to savor, rather than expect to savor the whole shabang.
So, what are you going to savor tomorrow? January 2, 2010. What about that day will you savor?
Personally, at least to start, I'm going to savor the 1 1/2 hours I have between waking and leaving the house for work. Shower, cook/eat breakfast, make/drink coffee, pack lunch, harvest cranberries on Farmville, have some devotional time. (Not necessarily in that order.) No one else in the house is awake. It's very quiet and relatively dark. Peaceful. Routine. Comforting. It's a wonderful way to prepare for a hard day of work (which is definitely what tomorrow will be). I've never really done it with an attitude of savoring...but tomorrow morning, I will intentionally savor each second.
Savor moments. Don't let the fast pace of life these days rob you of joy in the little things. :o)
Happy New Year!
