I read this quote a while back on Ann Voskamp's blog and thought that it summed up my feelings quite well:
“But the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make
while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured
only in photographs. There is one picture of the three of them sitting
in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6,
4 and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and
how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing:
dinner, bath, book, bed.
I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting
it done a little less.”
~Anna Quindlen
So my friends, in 2012, I want to treasure the doing.
