Too Many Countdowns

1/25/2017

Halloween decorations are sold in August.
 
Thanksgiving by September.
 
Christmas by October.
 
Facebook countdowns, like the one pictured, show up in my feed at least once a week about some holiday that is nowhere near happening. 
 
And its not just holidays.  I work at a school during the day and everyone is counting down till the next break.  I even saw countdowns for the last day of school that started the first day of school! 
 
I am concerned that we are all thinking about the next big whatever (holiday, break, vacation) and forget to enjoy the day we are in.  I’m guilty of this too, of course.  I am trying to be more aware of it though.  I realized we are missing out on appreciating all the wonderful things that happen everyday.  The small things we take for granted like a delicious meal, a hug for no reason for my kids, a great hit in a softball game, or baking a treat in the Easy Bake oven.  I mean, I notice these things but why aren’t I looking forward to them?  Every day I can find things to look forward to instead of waiting for the “big” things.
