(Nanny and Papa, at the beach with all of the kids and grand-kids, this past summer!)My folks where in town the last two days. A pretty quick trip, kind of an unexpected trip, due to some appointments they had in my city. I will take what ever I can get where visits with them are concerned. Living so far away from them is a constant prick at my heart. I adore my mom and dad!
I think everyone has things in their life that where not what they planned and perhaps where exactly what they where determined wouldn’t happen but LIFE HAPPENS. The grass is always greener in our unfulfilled dreams! We have to realise we romanticize our dreams, or I wanted to’s, and then because of that can fall into brooding in an unfairly harsh way about our present situation. Every time, step, stage, in life has its good things and its negatives. Likewise, every dream we have will have great things and hard things. Whether we get our way or not we will face good and bad and must find a way to be content.
Contented — gratified, pleased, happy.
I try hard to enjoy every stage I am in in my life. Many of the treasures it had will not be found in next and new stages and I will miss them, especially if I took them for granted! I love to move on in life with a heart full of memories, because I embraced the last step on the road of life and enjoyed it, with this load of happy memories there is no room for regrets!
