“There are times in the lives of most of us when we would have given all the world to be as we were but yesterday, though that yesterday had passed over us unappreciated and unenjoyed.”
William Hartpole Lecky

One conversation that I have over and over with my clients as they gaze teary-eyed at the portraits of their children growing up is how quickly it all passes. And I am grateful for that constant reminder to enjoy it now, savor every moment of my girls’ childhoods, because in a blink of an eye, I realize they will be on their own and my house will be quiet once again. I was especially moved by the above quote, which I came across recently. A simple reminder to appreciate the ordinary.
