A New Year

Wow, 2010. I remember being little and thinking - if i live to the yr 2000 im gonna be old-Funny how the preception of time changes as we get older. I have been so blessed with health through the years, this past year my life has been touched by those who haven't been as fortunate as me. I wonder, what would I do if I were told that I only had months to live. Several things go through my brain, spend as much time as i can with my hubby and kids, make the best of those moments by creating peace, not focusing on all the world has to offer, play card games with my kids even if they thought it was corny, i would be in a picture or two, because after all, they know whats on the inside and to heck with the outside, i would give them a record of my smile. I would tape myself singing what i sang to them everytime i rocked them so their kids could hear. needless to say, there is alot i would do. My next thought, why wait? Why should it take someone giving me a time limit to do these things with and for my family? DO TODAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SPEND ETERNITY REMEMBERING!!! Im gonna work on this this year.......
