This really resonates with me. I’ve realized how easily life becomes a series of checkboxes—college, career, marriage, kids—until suddenly you’re measuring time by your child’s milestones instead of your own. Your reminder to shift from “What’s next?” to “What’s now?” hits home. The quiet Tuesday dinners, the bedtime stories, the small ordinary joys—that’s the real life we keep rushing past. Thank you for naming something so many of us feel but rarely pause to articulate.
This is so on the mark. I can literally feel the itch of needing something new, exciting, some sort of shake up. When really all I want is to enjoy the moment. Even if that’s boring. I want boring. I really do. So here’s to calm moments of being in the moment and just savoring it for a bit.

Great thoughts! Also, as a "present tense" sort of person, I find it difficult to focus on the next goal. I get along well with this notion ;).
"Shall we see where this leads us?"
Sounds like both our personalities would balance each other out! Here’s to balancing both represent and the what’s next :)

This is totally how I feel! I start wondering “whats next” the second one thing is over. Here’s to enjoy a slow fall season!
