REFLECTIONS

You know, time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. I have had thoughts of that, lately...

It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my Wife. 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...I was there...

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... My dreams are continuing... oh oh oh How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my babies 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, untill now.

But, here it is...wife tired and ...she moves slower and I see an older woman now. She's in better shape than me... but, I see the great changes that occurred... Not the one I married who was young and vibrant... but, like me, her 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! Injuries last forever and pains in places I didn't Know I had.

And so, now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the Boo Boo's and Hurts and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things as I used to..and It's getting slower.

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. Its all in a lifetime...Yet there is still so much to do, and so little time.. But to REMEMBER where we were, is such a blessing to be where we are!

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 NOW!

Life goes by quickly So, do what you can today, because 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...

"Life is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who came after. Make it a fantastic one."

I wish Everyone a Wonderul Life!
