Every once in a while a reminder comes along...like the fir tree....and we can try again.

After all, to a certain degree, childhood was carefree because we had no concept that some day it would be gone with the wind, never to return. <br />Its impossible for me to full sit and and do my day to day things and to appreciate the really important things like my job and my children, my family and my home if I get caught up trying to appreciate EVERYTHING, like a working dishwasher, tires that haven't popped, mail that doesn't get wet in my mailbox and pants that haven't split in the seams. You know? <br />A person's being only has so much bandwidth from moment to moment. And, even if you could appreciate everything in each moment, you would still miss it when it was gone. <br /><br />But, its good to stop and think of these things. It keeps the heart open:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
