Does anyone else get caught up in the constant go, go, go feeling we have created in our society? We seem to think that the more we have on our plate and the more we accomplish, the happier we will be. I won’t deny that I love keeping busy whether it is with the kids, work, or various other commitments. These things do bring me fulfillment. However, I also know how important it is to slow down every once in a while and savor the very moment that I am in. The “live in the moment” quotes below help me to remember this!
