Savoring the moments of life

I am by nature a list maker and for many years I have made extensive New Year's resolutions only to see them fall by the wayside by March.  I have only one for this year.  I want to slow down.  I want to savor every moment that I experience, from the soft warmth of our baby, to the view of the sunset, to even the taste of food.  Sometimes I find that I am just running trying to get to the next thing.  I am startled when I view photographs of my children and realize that they are getting much older in spite of whether I am ready for them to be older or not.  So today I will take time to look at the clouds, to laugh with our children, to listen to the wind.  There is only one chance at this life and I want to view each and every gift God has given me.
