I Am A Procrastinator

I wonder if there is a 12-step program for procrastinators?  If so...I should get around to joining one day.  "Hi!  My name is Pam Harmon and I am a procrastinator."  There are things I really would like to do...if I ever get around to it...like blogging.
So today I take one giant step and sit here to write.
To catch up...our grandson Wesley is here and now 8 weeks old.  He is precious and handsome and BIG and I can't wait to get my hands on him again :o)  Katie (our 3-yr-old) has had her tonsils and adenoids removed...I hate to think of her hurting, but she is such a brave little thing and is getting better every day.  Abby has finished her first year of school...4-yr kindergarden.  She is growing so fast and is such a good big sister to Katie and Wesley.  Ethan is out west with his Mom and Dad and I can't wait for them to get back.  Saturday we will celebrate his first birthday...our little man is getting big way too fast.
My baby has finished her first year of college and done so swimmingly!  Dean's list, job as an RA, new clubs, new friends...we are so proud of how she is becoming such a wonderful young woman...much like her sisters before her.
Our son has gotten married to a beautiful young lady.  They eloped to St. Lucia and got married underwater...yep, in full diving gear.  It was the wedding they both wanted and they have beautiful pictures and videos so that they could come back and share the wonder of it with all of us.
So, even though I procrastinate, life keeps happening and moving past almost in a blur.  I want to capture every moment and hold onto it forever.  Maybe that's why I procrastinate...if I don't hurry on to the next moment maybe I can make this one last a little longer?  If so, it is not working.  The moments are passing too fast...so we take pictures and try very hard to be present for all of those moments so that I will never have to regret missing any of them.
So here's to procrastinating...may I procrastinate just enough to enjoy every moment; but not so much that I miss opportunities to enjoy and learn new things, have new adventures and see all of the wonders that there are to enjoy all around me....and get all of  my work done, of course :o)
