Appreciation

The more we appreciate, the more we get out of life.  I remember when my son was a baby and I had to wake up at all hours of the night for feedings.  I remember really being present and fully embracing the moment at hand.  In doing that, I feel that I didn’t miss out on each stage of his growth and feel very content with each process.  I hear all of the time parents saying ” appreciate it now for it goes by far too fast”.  I don’t want to say that to anyone because I want to be so fully present in today that I cannot ever feel like I missed out.
