This week starts the final week of my kids’ 5th-grade school year. And I’m in shock. I can’t even believe how much they’re growing and changing. And that the teenage years and middle school are right around the corner! Acck.

All of it makes me want to rewind to when life felt easier and simpler. And sadly, I know that’s not possible.

So instead, I’m going to do the only thing I can do. I’m going to…

Soak up the good stuff.

Because there’s a lot of it right in front of me.

Sometimes, when I get sentimental about time racing by or things changing faster than I’d like, I have to remind myself that there is still a ton of good right in front of me.

There’s laughter to be shared.
There are adventures to experience.
There are memories to be made.

So if you’re looking back at simpler times in your relationship (or your parenting), don’t throw your hands up in despair… instead, focus on what’s right in front of you, and…

Soak up the good stuff.

I know I’m going to do it!!

Yours,

-A
