I’m learning day by day not to wish my life away. Whenever I find myself thinking “I can’t wait until…. Till lunch… till tomorrow… till this time next year…” I have to remind myself to find the joy in this very moment. And… there always is something pleasant to enjoy.
This summer has been a totally new experience for me… I went from being a law student, to insurance lawyer, fiancée, and artist, and stepmom extraordinaire…. I’m now spending my days helping immigrants and painting… and baking birthday cakes for oh-so-grateful 9 and 10 year olds. I love my life and I know that this is exactly where God wants me right now.
Still some days, the thought escapes… I can’t wait until the day when I have more free time… more money… more experience…
Well, in reality this time is a necessary building block to prepare me for what is to come… No need to wish away these learning experiences. Today I have 24 hours, just the same 24 hours that I will have on August 5th 2020. The best thing to do is to enjoy the flowers that I see, the people that I meet, the opportunities that come my way TODAY.
