You know, time has a
way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.
It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and
embarking on my new life with my mate. And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago,
and I wonder where all the years went.
I know that I lived
them all...
And I have glimpses
of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams... But, here it is..the
winter of my life and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go
and where did my youth go?
I remember well...seeing older
people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away
from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine
fully what it would be like... But, here it is...my husband is retired and
getting gray...he moves slower and I see an older person now. He is in
better shape than me... but, I see the great change... Not like the one that I
remember who was young and vibrant... but, like me, his age is beginning to
show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd
be.
Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a
real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore...it's
mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will..I just fall asleep where I
sit! '-)
And so, now I enter into this new season of my life
unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to
go and do things that I wish I had done.... but never did!!
But, at
least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will
last...this I know, that when it's over...its over....Yes , I have regrets.
There are things I wish I hadn't done ,,,,,things I should have done, but
indeed, there are many things ...I'm happy to have done. It's all in a
lifetime....
So, if you're not in
your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here
faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life
please do it quickly! Don't put things
off too long!!
Life goes by
quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is
your winter or not!
You have no
promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so,
live for good today
and
say all the things
that you want your loved ones to
remember...
and hope that they
appreciate and love
you
for all the things that
you have done for them in all the years
past!!
'Life is a gift
to you". The way you live your life is
your gift to those who come
after.
Make it a fantastic
one.'
BE
HAPPY!!!----Always do what is right, regardless of the cost. It always costs...but do right anyway. There is an eternal life after this one. Be prepared for it. AND BE
THANKFUL!!!!!
