New Blog Title

I just changed my blog title. I really hadn't planned on doing it. In case you're new, this blog used to me called I'm not a Gamble...I'm a sure thing. It was a play off our last name. I've now had this blog for right at three years. I just logged onto my account and was staring at the screen. All of the sudden this popped into my head... "Living in the now...with Tomorrow in mind." It was like one of those tiny lightening bolts went off and it seemed to sum up a great description of who I'm trying to be.

I'm always planning for tomorrow. Always a few steps ahead of where we are, trying to figure stuff out or be prepared to make good decisions before I actually have to make them. It's a good thing. Nathan and I are both planners. We plan pretty much everything but especially when it comes to financial things or future family things. And while I think it's a good thing and more people should at least put more thought into their actions...it can be a bad thing if that's all you do. It takes balance.

For me living in the now is not worrying about tomorrow but giving it to God. It's focusing on what's important in the moment. Taking the time to enjoy my children or my husband. Being thankful for what I have instead of what I want. It's appreciating the smaller things in life and finding beauty in the every day moments.

I like the new title. I think it fits me better than the other one did at this point in my life. After all, I'm much older now. I'm 25. *wink*
