Where does time go, and can it please slow down?

 I started my blog with the best of intentions, but before I knew it 6 months had passed without a word typed or otherwise. Thinking back there is so much that could have been written, so much that could have been related to others and to my future self. Now, it is all but distant memories. Ideas and moments that seem so trivial now.  I can not allow my life to go by so quickly. I need to take time to really live, to really reflect, to really enjoy the life I am living. I hate to use the term "stopping to smell the roses," but it is so true. How often do we just go about our every day lives without really thinking about the bigger picture? I don't want to forget those memories and blogging seems to be the best way to remember the little things everyday. So, even if I only have time for a quick paragraph. It needs to be done. It has to be done.

Here is today's:

When I got home today, my happy little boy yelled through the house "Mommy's home! Daddy, Mommy's home!" What a wonderful welcome. These are the moments I want to remember and cherish for the rest of my life.
