Taking Advantage of the Moment



You may have noticed that the last few days I have not been as vigilant at keeping to my promise to have an entry every day. I could make up several excuses as to why this is so, yet the truth of the matter is that I have been enjoying spending time with Vincent.

It is a grand thing when you find someone who you truly just love to spend time with. Vincent and I are that way. He had been working non-stop for the month of July and when he finally received some time off, we took advantage of it. The weather had been just beautiful, much cooler than normal late July weather. We took the bike out a few times, worked in our yard, went to the movies, and did nothing at times. It has been enjoyable and well worth the laziness. Yet once again it is time to get back to the things that need tending.

I think it is important to take advantage of moments like that. I think of my grandkids and know there were plenty of times when I let things slide just so I could sit and play with them. I would not trade those moments for anything. I have found that most things will still be there when you decide to become industrious again and tend to them.

Love & Peace

Memories

Lowly in the quiet moments
at the ending of a day
When the sunshine slowly falters
and the day is on its way

I sit back and softly ponder
all the things that I have done
All the pain that I am feeling
All the passion, all the fun

There are lessons, each one special
for to me they sure have shown.
Things that make me search much deeper
to myself, I know I've grown

Some are hard and are quite painful
piercing deep within my heart
Taking some dark hidden corner
tearing...ripping... it apart

Others warm and oh so soothing
makes me smile just to think
Of the laughter and the closeness
And the memories that they make

I will hold each memory dearly
I will cherish each one true
For when I look back and find them
I look back and I find you
