When you're a kid you go through life wishing you were older. Then once you get older you wish that you were young once again. Has this ever happened to you? If you're honest with yourself I'm sure it has!
We go through life wishing and worrying about the things we don't have only to forget what we have in front of us. When you're a kid we worry about passing grades, what our friends think of us, will our parents find out about something we did wrong. Then we become older and out of school. We worry about our jobs being secure, paying the bills, taking care of our kids, buying and taking care of our home, will our kids go to college and how we are going to pay for it and the list goes on.
We just never seem to take the time to enjoy what we have, only wishing for things we don't and worrying about things we do!
Time passes so fast when we get older. You look back and it just seems like yesterday you were still just a kid. Yet we wished those days away for some crazy reason.
When I got sick 8 years ago and was in the hospital for almost 6 weeks it gave me time to reflect where I've been and what my future may hold. It was a scary thought at first because my life was about to change, and for the first time I didn't have control of it.
As the old saying goes "You only live once". Make sure that you live life to the fullest before it's too late!
