I can’t wait until my kids are grown.
I can’t wait until summer is here.
I can’t wait until I get a full time teaching job
I can’t wait until I’m old encough to be taken seriously.
I can’t wait until I have my degree.
I have wished my life away.
I have longed for until
and my life has passed me by.
I catch myself saying “I can’t wait until…” and then I stop and think about it. Yes, yes, I can wait. The moments between here and then are important too. Your words are powerful and are a great reminder of mindfulness and living now.

Wow. We were on the same wavelength yesterday, weren’t we?! I love this. I was just sitting in a student summit – preparing kids for high school and the presenter talked to them about a “Key of Excellence” called “This Is It” – that’s what that key is all about. Enjoying the moment. Not always wishing for the next thing. Such an important reminder in your writing.

Thanks for stopping by to read and comment. I feel guilty as a parent because I have not done a very good job of letting my own kids know this is it. I’m always talking about how they can improve for tomorrow. Thank you for your comment.
