Slow It Down

Gracie (5) & Mackenzie (6)

Last week, I received my very first speeding ticket. Because I have committed such a heinous crime, my 5 & 6 year old daughters now fear for their lives when they get in the car with me. My 5 year old especially is very curious about how I could have done such a rotten thing and what type of punishment I received.

She asks me things like:
"Why did you do that?"
"Do you want to go to jail?"
"Do you know that speeding is bad?"
"How much money did that cost you?"

And the list goes on...and on...and on. She has even told her MawMaw about this. MawMaw is NOT happy.

This recent round of interrogation has led me to think about the speeding incident. Especially: Why did I do that? Well...I think I know the answer. I spend too much time in a big giant hurry.

It is time for me to spend less time in a hurry and more time just enjoying...

Enjoying:
My family (most amazing family ever!)
My home (my practice home...learning how to replace fixtures, paint, build fences..FUN!!)
My job (which happens to be my dream job!)
My workouts (I threw that in here because I REALLY wish I enjoyed my workouts :-) )
My blog (ok...this is my very first entry!! I am excited to FINALLY get it started!)

So tomorrow morning I will get up early enough to enjoy my morning coffee and just take my time...instead of enjoying my snooze button. No more rushing around. Its time to just enjoy.
