Taking time to enjoy the "how wonderfuls"

A friend of mine, Becky Fromm, posted a simply wonderful quote on her Facebook wall, and I loved it and asked for permission to share it.  Here it is:

"If you allow yourself to be consumed with all the 'what ifs,' you are never going to be open to experience the 'how wonderfuls.'"

Talk to any parent or working adult, and they will tell you life is crazy busy.  Becky's quote is a powerful reminder to take the time to slow down and enjoy the wonderful things that life has to offer.  I'll take her quote as a powerful recommendation, and I'll follow it!

I am excitedly preparing to roll out my new website in early November, coupled with my trip out to California for the first annual Experts Industry Association Conference.  Add to that some engagements and speaking opportunities on the horizon leading into the holidays, my mind is swimming with all the possibilities and "what ifs."

Later this week, before things really get going, I am going to take time to enjoy my three "how wonderfuls" -- my wife and my two girls, as we set out for a well-needed and much-anticipated family vacation.  We can't wait!

It's all about balance -- I ask you to join me in balancing your hectic daily lives and responsibilities with time for reflection and recreation.  The "how wonderfuls" are all around us -- we just have to make sure we are taking the time to enjoy them!

Have a great day, and I'll be back next week!

Take care!
