How long has it been since all the candles would fit on your
birthday cake?
Do you remember how you felt on your first job when you
realized you had worked right through what once was summer vacation?
When is the last time you threw a napkin across the room and
actually hit the trashcan?
Or you laughed so hard you couldn’t breathe and wondered if
you would make it to the bathroom.
Do you believe that rubbing your tummy and patting your head
at the same time seems much easier after age fifty.
Have you truly talked to your plant and believed it grew?
Or played peak-a-boo with your puppy dog?
Remember the nursery rhyme “sing a Song of Six Pence?
Did your mind ever really see how it might have looked when
the maid was in the garden and the blackbird came down and “pecked” off her nose?
Now it seems to be more politically correct to say “sat” on
her nose. Either way, think about it; it’s funny!
Besides a wedding day or birth of a child have you felt the
way you do at Christmas, when it wasn’t Christmas at all?
Do you sometimes wish you could still roll over and over in
the fall leaves?
Rainbows, like daffodils and the way love feels are ageless
wonders!
And time keeps on moving, whether we do or not.
Take off your watch for a weekend and see if it doesn’t last
longer.
Life is very short once you look at it backwards, so take
the best of it with you for all days.
