Well, today, Blake and his class are celebrating their 100th day of school. It is going to be quite the party, I hear, with candy and treats and surprises. It seems that it was only a week or so ago that they started this school year, yet, here we are over half way through. As a matter of fact, they will be out for the summer in a little over three months. WOW, how time flies.
We all know the old saying, "Time flies when you're having fun," which is true. And, "Time goes by faster the older you get," which also seems true. There is little doubt that it seems to be picking up speed. I guess I am waxing nostalgic this morning because of how quickly we have reached this 100 Day celebration.
With the nostalgia going strong, today's word is just a reminder to enjoy every moment: "Life is short, live it; Love is rare, grab it; Anger is bad, dump it; Fear is awful, face it; Memories are priceless, cherish them."
As I said, I guess I am just waxing nostalgic. But, I am reminded at how fleeting this time is. It seems like just a few months ago, we became parents, but, it has been almost six and one half years. The time we get to spend with the ones we love is short, really short, so why waste it on things that steal from that very limited time? Why waste a lot of time on being angry or fearful? Yeah, people can do us wrong, and do. There are a lot of things that concern us, and rightfully so. But, we also have a lot to enjoy and embrace; concentrate on those.
100 days of kindergarten in the books. At the rate that it feels time is traveling, it won't be long before Blake and Olivia are in college. Yet, I am not going to waste what little bit of time we have together worrying about all of that. We are going to try our best to live life, make memories, and enjoy!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
