Here we are again…that time of the year! Christmas creeps up on us every year…summer comes and goes and then, BAM! It’s Christmas already. They don’t even really let us enjoy Halloween or Thanksgiving before they inundate us with decorations, music, and ads for strange gifts that we just can’t live without.<\/p>\n
What’s wrong with society? Why can’t they just let us enjoy the moments? Life is short, but we don’t have to rush it along, do we? We’re working on enjoying what’s happening NOW, not tomorrow or the next day. It’s a difficult thing to do sometimes, because things are flying by us at a mile a minute, but if you can just slow it down and pay attention to THIS moment, I promise you’ll have a different view on life.<\/p>\n
There are so many things in life that affect how you look at the world, and Christmas is one of those times that makes you reflect on what’s important. We’re in one of those reflective times and wanted to share some of it with you. As you may have seen in our recent posts here and on Facebook and Twitter, we were pregnant. Unfortunately, we miscarried…which has been quite a learning experience for us. It’s shown us several things; one being that we know how much we’d like to have a child, another is how much we feel love and support from our family and friends. It’s also helped us to refocus and appreciate the things we have right now. We have each other, we have our incredible family and friends, and we have YOU!<\/p>\n
So the point of this corny Christmas message is that you don’t get do-overs, but as long as you’re breathing you can make right now matter. It goes back to what we have talked about so much, life is meant to be lived. If you are just filling space, it’s time to step outside and live a life that matters. Even with the miscarriage, we have CHOSEN to take a look at the positive that came out of it, because that is the only aspect of this that we control…how we react to the situation.<\/p>\n
How can we be upset when we so much love and support? How can we be upset when we have each other? How can we be upset when we got to experience how much love we felt toward this little nugget of life? Choose to live your life. Choose to enjoy the little moments, because those are the ones that matter. Choose to take the positive road versus the one that ends up eating you alive.<\/p>\n
To all of you that read this junk we throw out into the world, to all of you that interact with us, to our friends and family…you truly do mean the world to us. Our world is better because of each one of you and we hope we are able to put a little bit of laughter or positivity into your lives. So please, enjoy this Christmas…but make everyday as special as Christmas is suppose to be. Live in the moments and appreciate those around you.<\/p>\n
We wish you the most amazing Christmas…enjoy the people, not the stuff! Cheers!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
