@katieaustin: I always get super reflective at the end of each year and I feel like one thing I really tried to focus on this year was stopping with the “once we ___, then we will” mindset. Aka once we move, once we get back from our trip… I was treating parts of my life like hurdles to get past instead of moments to live in. There will always be a next thing. Another “finish line”. And yesss of course it’s fun to dream and look forward but there’s a future version of you who would give anything to come back to this moment. While I’ve been pretty good about catching myself lately, this month I noticed it creeping back in. Once this holiday party is over… Once I finish the January program… Not to be sooo cheesy but THESE are the moments!!! Embrace the busy, the chaos, the quiet times, whatever it is. I’m so appreciative of my life right NOW. So I wanted to remind you to be, too:)
