As I sat and tried to get well from this bug yesterday I had a chance to observe the weather a bit. I would look out and we would have huge snow flakes, it was like being in the middle of a snow globe. Then before I realized it the sun would be shining in through the window. Then the snow would slowly start again and within thirty minutes we would have cycled through the weather pattern again. It was rather awesome and I began to realize that the weather is always changing and we rarely notice. We just live life day to day and another year has goes by. It is when we are in crisis, a storm growing in our lives that we notice the the changes that have been going on in our lives.
It seems like it was just yesterday that I was in high school and here I am all grown up with grown children. What happened to the last thirty years?
I realize now I was so busy living life, I let it slip by me without even noticing. That would be a regret I have, not slowing down to see the weather changing. Why is it that the to do list always seems so important but being present in the life of family, and I mean in the small things gets left behind.
The weather continues to change by the hour today, not as drastic as yesterday but I am noticing. I have decided to make a point of slowing down and and be present to my life, to changes everyday. I want to watch my children find their wings and fly into their lives. I want to be their for my wife as we journey into new adventures. I will be present to life and to change.
