Life in general

Today it is mid-October. My oldest son will be 17 next week ... wow. I'm quite aware of this fact, and yet at the same time, quite unbelieving.

I find myself pondering life the past few weeks ... where has time gone? where is time going? what is it *I* want out of life?

I find that I'm refusing more and more to merely "survive" ... I surely don't want that for my children! I don't want to spend the rest of my life "surviving" .... albeit that is better than an alternative of not surviving!

But I find as I'm encouraging my children to find a path in life that truly brings them happiness, I question why it is that so many of us let go of that dream for ourselves.

Let us all do what it takes to go about our daily lives doing those things which we dream about doing! Perhaps it is simply taking time to smell the flowers outside your window .... or maybe something so large you fear it can never be attainable. Bah, say I! Let us attain it!

Such are my thoughts today ...
