The Mind is a Wonderful Thing (Most of the Time)

Hello All:

I am back again to try to put my thoughts on paper and to do that in a way that more than one person can understand.

I know the picture on the blog is from the Holiday Season but it fits into my thought of the day. It is a picture (frozen in time) thank you Heathyr, that my mind has etched in my brain. It is a quick picture I see everyday before I sleep and certainly every morning when I wake up. It gives me the strenght to make it through the night and then the beautiful thoughts of a new day.

There is no question that these images are the ones that make me think "its a great day'" It is possible for me to day dream about being with each of them each day even though I know that is not possible from a physical position. Yet as I day dream my mind can take me to each of my kids and their famlies like I was right there with them. What a wonderful thing.

Their lives are moving forward at rocket speed as my life did when I was young. The difference is they know to stop and smell the roses along the way. I didn't and I regret that now.

That is where the statement "most of the time" comes into play. When you have time to think, many of the images that pop up are images of times you may have let people down or that you didn't treat some right. I think of this often and hope those friends understand how sorry I am about the things I did that may have hurt them.

So the beautiful mind does remind me daily of the people who are important in my life, yet it also does remind me when I came up short. Later .....
