Enjoy the Moments

If there is only one thing that I have learned from this life, it's that we need to enjoy the moments. All of them. Not just the big, fun ones but the small, tedious ones as well. I'm still learning to enjoy doing the dishes but it's a process... right?

Thanks to Heather and a few others, the complete quote that I was looking for is this:

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river

and he's not the same man.”
~Heraclitus of Ephesus

So, is that why things seem to be going a bit better this time? Could be. The experiences of last year allowed me a more peaceful place this year. Although, I still feel like I was more in-tune with everything that was going on last year. Last year I felt like I was walking more towards God, this year it feels more like he's carrying me instead. Last year there were lots of thoughts of "I can't believe THIS is MY life!" and this year it's more "Yup, this is my life!" Eh, I'm getting kind of rambly (apparently I just made that word up).

We had another snowy day today. And while it seems odd to have snow this time of year, it really isn't. I went back through some of my blog posts from last April and we actually had enough snow to make a huge snowman during the last half of the month so March isn't that shocking. You can also tell that even though it's snowy, it's not the frigid stuff we had in December. Needless to say, you have to enjoy it while you can because now, it's melting off. Um, never mind! I can see the snow swirling around and can hear it pounding the windows. Un-predictablness is the one predictability this time of year!

Here are the kiddos real quick while taking a break from sneaking bites of snow off the yard toy and before the virtual blizzard started!

I wonder if I have any like this from last year to see how much they've grown?
