little moments make a big difference

The holidays are CRAZY.....decorating, shopping, going to parties, watching kids performances, trips to santa, attempting to be jolly and merry!!  I spend all year looking forward to Christmas.  I can't wait for the trees, the lights, the Christmas feeling, but as the month flies by I realize that I am missing the magic preparing for the most magical day of the year!!

lululemon  has been reminding us all to stay present during this time of year. Some days I find this almost IMPOSSIBLE.  I am so busy with my checklist and I am constantly thinking about what is next... I hardly pay attention to what is happening NOW.   I forget to stop and pay attention to the little moments in time that make life fun...

My daughter yelling her line for her play.. 

The look on my son's face when he found a 5 dollar bill that the tooth fairy left under his pillow....

The view of the Canyons Mountain Resort on a morning run...

Finding 5 minutes for a conversation...

Laughing until you cry...

The lights on the trees at the entrance to our neighborhood...



The GOAL is to create a life where you stop to smell the roses...enjoy the little things...are grateful for all you have... and the million other little sayings we have all heard.  The CHALLENGE of life is to figure out how to do that!!  I know that my life will always have the "to do" lists, the running around, the managing of my little beings, but during the chaos of it all I live for the little moments that make me stop, smile and enjoy the NOW!!
