Were have the days gone? It was Christmas only 2 months ago! In the hectic lives we all live and lead, we eagerly just keep turning the pages of time. The moments don’t stop for us, or for our convenience, they continually keep on ticking. Tic, tic, tic. Daily we look at our calendar’s. We look to see what we have scheduled and penciled in for that particular day.
Rarely do we stop for a second, to take a moment to smell the fragrances before us. We don’t stop to listen to the quit, stillness in the air. Still, we seldom stop to focus in on the unseen and the unspoken. We certainly don’t stop to mark or jot down those treasured seconds. We get caught up in the moment, deterring us from what’s really important to us. Too fast, the moments slip by. We forget to think about all the precious things that we are grateful, for. We forget about nice things that are said and done. Before you know it, in a blink of an eye; years and decades have past us by. Things that were once so very important to us, have melted away like the glaciers in the most high.
Now, the sweet ,sugar, coated aromas of the canopy fill the air. Red and pink pedals of roses are in plenty, and lovers will soon croon the tune “unforgettable.” The card store’s will be creeping with people hustling to hone in on the perfect card and gift. People will crowd the restaurants to celebrate Anniversary’s, birthday’s, and especially valentines day.
These celebrations are a reminder to value what is really important in our lives, which is time spent with those we love. In looking back, it is that which we remember.

It is very early in the morning. 1 a.m. to be exact. I can’t sleep so I thought I would relax by writing some. Lots to think of and be grateful for with Thanksgiving behind me. Thinking of the recent joys and challenges I just faced. Learning to…"accept the things I cannot change… and having "the courage to change the things I can" one day at a time!
The last four days I not only had my husbands brother and wife over for the holiday’s, but I made my prune stuffing which usually comes out heavenly, which through prompting, turn out to be dry and tasteless- To having the plumbing break in my guest bathroom.
Since my hubby, Chris, could not fix it tonight, we both will have to wait till he can find the part at a plumbing store because Low’s and Home Depoit do not carry the part. Also because we must let the wet areas affected, dry out with a fan, that will run continuously for the next three days.
Thus, I will use my skill and dexterity to gain and keep my peace and harmony.

I would be honored if anyone out in the world wide web would take an interest in my writing and would be interested in take it a step further by translating my blog for all those to read. It would be a gift to the disabled community and all those who enjoy reading my entries. It would not only close the many gaps we face as a people with diverse background, ethnicities, and physical challenges, but it would close the crevasses in our community that need healing and filling up. Please reply if interested.
