Ann.. I can’t even think about my girls being 15, 13, and 11….I know it will come way too fast!

I think the “slowed down” mindset is definitely a discipline that has to be practiced. For awhile I’ll do really well, then I go back to OCD crazy person. But God always seems to throw me a curve when I need it (although I might not want it and get me back on track with savoring my blessings each day.

Oh, this is so beautiful. I love how you are sorting it out and have offered these relevant quotes and thoughts and photos.

Were you able to sustain this mindset?

Looking at those photos of your kids…well, I have three crazy girls who not long ago looked something like your daughters.

Now they’re 15, 13, and 11 years old (and they have their little brother, age 7). You can see the backs of their heads in that recent post of mine where I’m in the middle of them as they hug me.
