I ALWAYS assume I must be forgetting something if there is a pause in my day. I think I need to embrace those pauses and be present in the moment. Tough to do. But so necessary.
That is so true, instead of worrying about what we should be doing to fill in that moment it would be best to just embrace it — even if we did forget something we were supposed to be doing :-)!
Salam to all,
For a first time commenter I want to be in agreement with all of you kind ladies but I would not be telling the truth. See, as a Muslim , we have to pray five times a day so what happens is that you finish one prayer and you start thinking of the next prayer (time) . I guess you’re in perpetual rememberance !
happens all the time, and I can’t enjoy the moment because I am too busy worrying about what I am forgetting.
But I also have the opposite happen–I enjoy a moment of free time, blissfully unaware that I am forgetting a dozen things…
Forgetting something used to really bother me, now I just chalk it up to mom-brain and laugh it off. This happens ALL the time. Unless it is really important I consider it a blessing and I must have needed a mental break :) I love this, pinning!
I have the worst memory, so I am constantly double-checking my calendar. When I don’t, I invariably miss appointments. You’d think reminders from my smartphone calendar would work, but sometimes even that hasn’t helped!
Ha! Love it. Happens to me every day :)

Oh yes! I can totally relate.
Oh wait…there it is again. I keep having a re-curring awkward moment!!!

Had my mini melt down based off of this feeling last night :) It was quickly treated with chocolate lava cake and red wine! lol!
This is me every time I feel like I’m having free time — love it!

Don’t forget the panic that sets in with the “What should I be doing?” moment. Cause there’s always something.
