Finding Comfort in This Season of Life

Are you soaking in, relishing, cherishing, celebrating, and appreciating this year/season of life?  Or are you always looking toward the next moment, the next month, the next event, rarely allowing yourself the privilege of fully participating and embracing the happenings that are before you for today? 

I am currently reading one of Priscilla Shirer's books, The Resolution for Women, and I am challenged by the questions above.  Each season, each moment, I seem to be looking towards what is next and not fully embracing the current season of life.  When I am faced with challenges, I am forced to live and struggle through them; however, I rarely cherish, celebrate, and appreciate the good. 

As my next birthday eases closer, my goal is to FULLY enjoy this season of life, this year of life.  I want to soak in and appreciate this season/year of life; finding comfort in both the challenges and celebrations.
