I was flipping through the pages of those little books they have near "hallmark type" things today when Kelcy and I were looking for a thank you note for the COO of Oregano's. I don't remember the title of the little memento gift, but I did take a picture of one of the quotes that I fell in love with. I feel like it pertains to my life because I am always looking forward to the future, when I really need to start being excited about the present.
"First I was dying to finish high school and start college,
And then I was dying to finish college and start working,
And then I was dying to marry and have children,
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough
so I could get back to my career.
And then I was dying to retire,
And now I am dying...
and suddenly realize that I forgot to live."
