We are only beginning the month of August and yet the stores have already stocked their shelves with fall decorations. The older I get the more I resist the constant push to wish away our today in our anticipation of tomorrow. This week I celebrated my sixtieth birthday. I know the reality of how swiftly life passes by. I regret the times that I didn't savor my now because I was wishing for tomorrow. I remember how isolating and lonely the days at home with an infant were, yet now I wish I could go back and savor those fleeting moments just a wee bit more. Yet, as wrong as it is to waste my today wishing for tomorrow, isn't it equally wrong to waste my today longing for yesterday, longing to relive the good moments or to repair the bad ones? (Join me for the rest of this post on Sunday, August 6th, at Woman to Woman Ministries where each Sunday I share a bit of Sunday Soul Food!)

So So True! Oh how I would love to savor some of those baby moments again of my kids. Great food for thought, cant waste today wishing for yesterday
