Wishing Your Life Away

When I was a kid I would often say something like; "I can't wait until Christmas." or "I wish it was summer vacation." or "I wish it was the weekend."

My mom would often reply, "Don't wish you life away." This has always stuck with me. Anytime I find myself looking forward to something or just wishing it wasn't today, I will hear my mom's voice.

The other day I was looking at photos of Chase from the past year and just marveling at how he has grown and wondering where the time has gone. It is true that once you have kids, then time just seems to fly by, but this is the time I want to savor the most so I am trying to quit "wishing my life away".

This is very hard to do though, because right now I wish it was the weekend.
