REFLECTIONS

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
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...

But, here it is...

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.

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.. .

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!

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."
