When you consider the world we live in today living in the moment has turned into somewhat of a skill that needs to be learned and mastered over time. I constantly remind myself that nothing is more important than the present. This is especially true after having our 4 month old daughter. It's so easy to get caught up in tomorrow and before you know it you have failed to cherish what you were blessed with today.
So true. Having a child growing up under your care is probably one of the things that can spin people out the most, and also cause the most significant "missed it" experiences. You want to do so much for her, yet past a certain point, the more you do, the less you are simply present with her, which is the greatest gift you have to give her. Parents really have so many "growth opportunities" in life, and this is definitely one of those. Advanced stuff!
