Life is short, but if we fill our lives with taking time to enjoy each and every moment of our lives, then the longness or shortness of life won't really matter. It seems like only yesterday, that Donnie and I were taking our 17 year old daughter Danielle off to College. I blinked and now last week we were taking our 17 year old youngest daughter Jane off to College. I don't know where the time went, but I do know, that in these last ten years between the two of them heading off to College, we saw three of our other children off to College, and now they are all adults.
Is life really short? did ten years fly by? I don't really think so, because Donnie and I have so many wonderful memories of these past 10 years ( or actually 27 years) of raising our children into the adults they are today, that time doesn't seem short necessarily, it seems to just keep moving forward.
Donnie wrote on his fb page about the forward progression of life, and I think it is natural and normal to watch our children grow, and become adults, with thoughts and ideas of their own, and each one of them has a different path that they are following. I don't feel old, I close my eyes and I can still see each of the kids first steps, first falls, first milestones....but now I see new first steps, first falls, and new milestones. So how can life be short if these things are all still happening. Forward Progression.....I plan on enjoying each and every moment moving forward in life. I won't take it for granted, and I will appreciate my life for however long I live. We only get to do this once, so whether its 50 or 100 years, my life won't be short because I am living it to the fullest.
