Unforgettable Moments

We all do it. We get busy with life and all the things involved with keeping schedules, appointments, careers, school, etc. We focus on each task and move on to the next, maybe even working on multiple tasks at once. We are concerned with being efficient with our limited time. Sometimes we don't realize that we do have a choice.

It is important to slow down and remember what is important. Remember what you enjoy doing, and do it. Think about things that make you happy and make time for them. If watching TV for 2-3 hours a day is what makes you happy, then do it (I feel bad for you though). If you want to start a hobby, workout, go back to school, or simply read more, do it.

Refocus. Evaluate your daily schedule, usually you will be able to find time you may otherwise spend on things you don't value as highly, but are habits. This may include spending time on the internet. If you'd rather work on a new hobby or read a book than go online, then do it. The internet will be there whenever you have time for it.

I am all for technology and think it's really neat that I can keep in contact with friends and family on Facebook and blogs, but that doesn't mean it should take away from what I would rather be doing, living. (Hence my low amount of blog posts since moving.) For me, personally, I like to get out and explore, hike, try new things. I am going to start geocaching on the few days a week that both kids are in school at the same time.

Bottom line: It's your life, make time for you. Do what makes you happy, just don't forget about your responsibilities.
