Today is Maggie’s 17th birthday.

As she gets ready for her senior year of high school it is becoming more and more clear that this period of time is closing.

Soon enough she’ll be out of the house, doing her own thing and making her own impact.

Right now I’m in the “wish I had more time to….(teach her, show her, tell her, hold her, hang out with her)” stage.

Hopefully I’ll mature soon and get to the “let’s make the most of this” stage.

Looking back and wishing you had more time or had done things differently is natural. Maybe not the best use of time though.

Being present is where it’s at. Giving the most of ourselves to the 17th birthday and not letting the 16th or 18th steal away the precious time we do have.

Wish me luck.

Make it a great day.

Jake
