I haven’t really been in the mood to blog lately. I’m not sure why. Part of me is overwhelmed with the
holidays. I just feel like there is so
much to do and not enough time. The late
Thanksgiving holiday certainly didn’t help.
My mind constantly wanders to the shopping that needs to be done, the
presents that need to be wrapped, the party that needs to be planned. I keep telling myself to slow down and enjoy
the present. All of the things on my to
do list will be accomplished eventually.
Easier said than done. Yesterday,
the following quote appeared in my FB newsfeed:
“Sometimes we get so caught up in what’s ahead that we
forget how wonderful it is to just live in the moment. Stop, listen, and enjoy the here and now.”
It makes perfect sense.
I want to enjoy the pre-Christmas festiveness with my nearly one year
old. This is the only Christmas he’ll
have as a one year old. Yes, there will
be more Christmases to enjoy down the road, but each one will be special and
unique and I want to enjoy THIS one in all its glory. So I need to take a deep breath and stop
worrying, stop planning, and just enjoy.
If I’m being completely honest, the decision of when to do
IVF again has been weighing on me heavily.
My heart and my head are saying two different things and that’s never
good. I’ve been praying about it and trying
to gain some clarity. This is a big
decision for sure, but I’m not sure why it’s causing me such anxiety. Hopefully I can put all IVF thoughts on hold
for the time being.
Here’s to making an effort to enjoy the present and trust
that God has a plan for our family…
