Live in the moment, they tell me. You can't do anything about the past or the future, but you can deal with the now.
I hear this, but it hits particularly hard when you have kids, and you try to hold onto these moments of pure fucking joy and happiness, and they all slip away so fast when you're dealing with their latest tantrum or injury or hurt feeling. And sometimes the worst thing is that you know you're not appreciating these times because you're trapped in the miniature of everyday life, and all the chores and tasks that need doing, even as they slip through your fingers like wet sand in the water.
I want to live in this eternal now, and maybe I do. I just really need to stop and smell the roses, and enjoy the sound of laughing children while it's everywhere.
