Well, well, well....
It's been a while since I've blogged, or better yet, it's been a while since I've had time to blog. So today, there will be no sass or witty humor, but rather just truth.
There is so much that has happened over the last month or so that it's felt like running on a treadmill without any ability to control the speed. I've had LOTS of visitors from family, to best friends, to catching up with friends to making new ones! I've explored the city, explored some of the "burbs" and have been challenged personally and professionally.
What I've realized is that I simply haven't taken a moment for everything to click and to really settle in. I find myself frequently having moments where I pause and catch myself thinking, "Wait! Do I really live in Chicago? Is Chicago really that far from California? Do I really have to wait to see the people I care about?" These moments may sound silly or surreal, but they are moments of reality that catch me off guard in way that I never thought imaginable.
Savor the people that mean the most because they may not always be at your fingertips. During this holiday season it's very easy for minds and our hearts to be consumed by the "things" we think we need. Let us not occupy ourselves with the fleeting but instead take-in and savor every precious moment with those around you.
So today, on this day of thanks, I remind you all to be thankful and grateful for the blessings in life not just on Thanksgiving but everyday!
