I think it's true when they say the older you get the faster the days seem to fly by. I can not believe this is the beginning of our third Labor Day here in Good Ole Tennessee! Seems like yesterday Me and my oldest daughter Holly was painting and cleaning to get ready for my daughter Mandy and Fallon to come stay with us when Tim was on deployment. Now before we know it she'll be moving on around the first of the year. Time is just flying flying by.
For me it really has taken me back a bit to think about this life and how much more of it is left? There was so much more I wanted to see and do. Now we are older, slower, and a little stiffer..lol Sometimes I sit and think how I am going to approach my next move for the day. Yesterday I worked around the house like a dog and it seems lately when I have a day like that, it takes about two days to recover from it! though I try to keep plugging along.
Right now all I can think of is me and Steve having a nice long weekend together, who knows if both of us will be here next year. When I was a med tech I had a lot of elderly patients and they all said the same thing.... make each day count! because you just never ever know. When your young you think we are invincible and have all the time in the world. Unfortunately that isn't always true.
Last night was a good night. Steve did forget we had a date to watch a few shows together but I rolled it off my shoulder and thought I just don't want to fight about it. So we ended up watching a good movie and snuggled and chatted. To me that was golden! I even scored a kiss... " that's even better " I love the simple things, that's what means the most to me. When someone you care about gives you time. And time is free. My Mom always said...the best thing in life are for free and I still believe that today. Thanks Mom..
