The lovely Amanda over at Tumble Dry writes so well, so perfectly, that her posts about her family generally get me crying (in such a good way!). Today she did it again, but this time, it was a reminder to all of us. Please go read the whole post (and the rest of her blog if you’ve never been!).
Bottom line is that she is smart and wants us all to listen and be present. From her post:
Happiness is a choice is more than a line on a tshirt. It’s just this one life we get. There isn’t a day in it that ever gets experienced in exactly the same way. We must remember to do what we hope, to stay true to aiming for the life that we want, the love, the memories whatever it is.
It is our choice.
It is our price to pay if we don’t.
Who is trying to sing to you right now?
Whose arms did you wiggle out of to do the dishes?
Go listen, kiss and live.
It’s just this one time, make it count.
