Our lives are so busy and we tend to have more to do than hours in the day, so this holiday season please remember to slow down and live in the moment. The cell phones, emails, Facebook, and everything distracting can wait, but the moment that is happening before you (wether it's dinner with family or a friend, playing a board game with your child, taking a walk with your husband, or sitting in front of a fire) will only happen in that moment, and if you're not present, fully present, in that moment you just might miss it.

too many times I'm seeing parents picking up their children from preschool, one hand holding the phone to their ear, the other dragging the child and artwork to the car. No talking about the day, the art, the best part of the day, the worst part. How are the next generation develop any social skills. The power outage was the best thing - sit and talk, play games, read, and go to bed earlier enough to wake up refreshed. Was a reminder of what we are missing.
