This is hard for me, Meagan. I’m usually the tough one, you know? The guy that gets it done. Mr. Macho. A man’s man. But when I hold you, I go soft.
And in that, there’s a lesson. It’s ok to be gentle. You taught me that, and you’re not even a day old. Let that be a lesson to you, sweetheart: You are always learning, it never stops.
We adults have high hopes for you, kiddo. We always do, it’s how we are. But my biggest hope is that you be a kid! Learning to be a kid first is so important to learning to be an adult.
Heck, I’m a kid inside and I’m 38 years old. I love Spiderman, and Mars bars.
Always live in The Now, Meagan,always!
Think of the future, believe in the past, but live in The Now.
Living for the future takes away who you are right now.
Living in the past, creates a heavy chip on your shoulder.
Living in The Now, well, that’s powerful. It gives you time to smell the roses, to see that butterfly, or lets you appreciate the song playing at the county fair.
That’s it! Appreciate your Life.
