Same here, I tend to get so consumed by goals, goals, goals, and looking to fulfill myself when I accomplish them, that I end up losing track and not valuing the present moment.

Unwrapping has been a blessing. Finding intersections of life where we pause and notice all those steps taken to bring us there. Thanks for giving us a place to ponder them and share.

Emily – I don’t know, you may get this kind of thing all the time, and then on a Tuesdays Unwrapped to boot, but I have a friend who is an amazing writer. And I thought of you as soon as I read her latest post – all about how the flu brought her family of 5 closer together and closer to God in the process of the purge.

“So whether you are in the midst of the mess, surrounded by the lovely or interrupted by things unexpected, I encourage you to pause and consider the gift, whatever it might be.”

I feel like you’re talking straight to me every week. I think we all feel that way. I want to echo what Jo said above – I am sure this gets tiring for you. Please know how appreciated you are, Emily. I always love to read your perspectives on life and motherhood.

So I’m a little late to the party, and I was a little nervous to hit publish, but I did it. I may alienate some of my regular readers, but I think it was time to broach the topic. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement.

[...] made a serendipitous discovery! Emily at Chatting the Sky hosts a little thing called “gifts on a tuesday.” I think my precious moment was a perfect gift on a Tuesday. [...]

It’s something that I need to constantly remind myself, especially yesterday. Especially TODAY when I spend 2 hours trying to figure out how to work an avocado green sewing maching from the 60′s to no avail. Grrr. Wait! I mean, “yay today!”

of course- beautiful… I’m not going to post about it because these days I am a weepy, stressed out bit of a mess… I stop and think “no, not today… maybe next week.”
apparently i need to relearn about tomorrow.
