That has to be enough, and it can be.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964875388384777306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-91723619136066143992010-03-30T06:43:43.276-07:002010-03-30T06:43:43.276-07:00Love this post.

I think there are posts that have been floating about in my head for some time that speak somewhat to what you're saying.<br /><br />When I was 22, I started working as the business office manager for a skilled nursing facility (a.k.a. nursing home). I worked there for nearly 3 years and it was the experience of a lifetime. Trust me. If you want to see life and death, the really honest two sides of the coin, go work 10 hours a day in a place like that. You'll never see life the same again. I saw more death in a month than most people see in a lifetime. <br /><br />On the other hand, 2 years ago this month a close friend of mine died in a bad accident at the age of 37. He had a daughter who was a freshman in high school. And he was one of the most vivacious, living in the moment kind of people I've ever known. In fact, he took first place in that category.<br /><br />The one thing we can't ever get back or replace is time. Every moment is ripe with opportunity and meaning. Life certainly shouldn't be lived in a rush. Savor it, I say! <br /><br />Excellent, insightful post.

I vowed to do it once I had Lemy and while I'm not always successful I have memories I'm sure I would have overlooked otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-7847006914647443532010-03-29T05:35:19.715-07:002010-03-29T05:35:19.715-07:00My babies have been so amazing - inspiring new fee...My babies have been so amazing - inspiring new feelings - like sheer terror at losing my husband, who just turned 52 - he is my stability, my center. I have tried to slow everything down - and live in the moment, the exact moment that I am in and enjoy that. <br /><br />((HUGS)) to you - and I cannot believe you are 34 weeks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-67369525123783247952010-03-28T22:16:50.253-07:002010-03-28T22:16:50.253-07:00good to hear your thoughts...

To really live. <br /><br />I can't tell you how my heart did little backflips at reading about your sunflower interacting with the outside world and the effect he's had on people in his life already. It seems like just yesterday when we were both reaching blindly for a chance at bliss. Any sign or signal that we might be happy someday, willing to go through hell to get there. I'm so glad you've gotten there. Hold on to it.Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910745805460514947noreply@blogger.com
