Time

Why is it that the older we get the faster time goes by? I have no idea but I wonder about it regularly as I realize that even the longest days are not as long as they once were. 
Proud big sister

Where did the time go? Those two in the picture? Well, those are my children, they are now 15 and 8. I still can't believe the time that has gone by. It was only yesterday that I found out about them it seems. 

Yet, it was not. The reality is that I will never have those first moments with them again. Sitting up, crawling, walking or running they are both well on their way to lives of their own. I am living mine. 

I wonder if time is passing slowly for them the way it did when I was a kid. It seemed as if I would never be grown and have a life of my own. Now I know that growing up is the one of the dumbest things I could have ever wished for. Oh well, life comes with it's ups and downs and I have weathered them all. 

Until next time, may your days be filled with love and laughter.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
