Ramblings

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I won't bore you with life's little excuses as to why that is, I'll just jump back in. Spending time with my kids is always a very enlightening experience. My kids range in age from 15 all the way down to almost 3 yrs old. No matter how much I think I know, I am constantly amazed and surprised by them. Watching my not quite 3yr old, for instance, I have to ask myself when exactly she turned the corner from babyhood to being a preschooler? And just where was I when it happened? Every parent knows that time doesn't really pass at a fixed rate of speed. The things that we use to measure it, minutes, hours, seconds, days etc., are only a fools way of trying to quantify the unquantifiable. Only a fool believes that any one second passes at exactly the same speed of another. I mean, as a parent, one second of watching your child suffer, or one paralyzing awful second of knowledge that your child is too close to the street, passes at an entirely different rate of speed then any other average second of boring daily life. Then again, a parents life is filled with these scary moments until they begin to seem "normal", whatever that means. Anyway, all I'm getting at I suppose, is that time, like the summer sun in Western Washington, is unpredictable. Enjoy the moment, make memories that will last you a life time and try your best to be deserving of the gifts you have been given. After all, you can't turn back time and forever after this today, will become yesterday.
