{Brooklyn} It Happens in a Blink

I recently came across this song on another photographer's family blog. I love it! I haven't stopped listening to it all day. First, listen to the song & read the lyrics and then I'll share a bit more of my thoughts with you...

Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
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

When it's all said and done
No one remembers how far we have 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
It happens in a blink

Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it's too late

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

I'm pretty sure this song was written for me! "Slow down, slow down, Before today becomes our yesterday". This is something I've struggled with my whole life! I'm always doing too much, super focused on one of many projects that I tend to "try" and juggle all at once. And unfortunately it can be at the cost of my personal relationships. I'm conflicted by managing my time and intense desire to grow my business, get out of debt, own a home one day, and the list goes on. All so that one day we can live in freedom. But what if that day never comes...I will most definitely lose today and many others in the process. I do not have the answers how I may slow down. How I may be more available to those that need me most. But my prayer today is to learn how...
