Teach me to number my days
And count every moment
Before it slips away
Take in all the colors
Before they fade to grey

I don't want to miss
Even just a second
More of this

It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?

It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink

When it's all said and done
No one remembers
How far we've run
The only thing that matters
IS HOW WE HAVE LOVED

I don't want to miss
Even just a second
More of this

It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?

Slow down
Slow down

And count every moment
Before it slips away
Take in all the colors
Before they fade to grey

I don't want to miss
Even just a second
More of this

It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?

It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink

When it's all said and done
No one remembers
How far we've run
The only thing that matters
IS HOW WE HAVE LOVED

I don't want to miss
Even just a second
More of this

It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?

Slow down
Slow down

It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?

It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?
It happens in a blink....

I heard this song a while back and just cried my eyes out!! I just thought about my life and especially about being a mother and how it seems like it's gone by so fast and how I've just missed out on a lot of stuff because I've been focused on the wrong things! I've been feeling this way for some time now!! My prayer this year is that I would live life!! Be in the moment -experience -really feel it!! I don't want it to just pass by -I want to love better -to be more intentional in everything I do -and really work on strengthening friendships and family relationships!! I can't believe that it is 2011 and Will's Birthday!! Before we know it, we'll be celebrating another new year!! I don't want to miss out!!
