Today is Memorial Day which is the day set aside to remember those who fought for our country and the sacrifices made. I pray for those who are currently in harm's way overseas and especially for the families at home who sacrifice just as much and maybe even more as they await the return of loved ones.
I feel blessed to have my family safe here at home and will enjoy the day off with my husband and son. I won't worry about the things that could/should get done. Sometimes it's more important just to relax and spend time together. I was recently reminded that "living in the moment" is something we should strive for but often forget to do. Life passes us by, and all we have left are memories.
So for today, I will be content in the fact that I have a quiet day at home, I'm still in my pj's although it's 1:30 p.m., and my son is eating his way through the snack bag left on the counter. Sometimes it's the small things in life that, upon reflection, make me smile the most.
