Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was beginning my first day of school? I remember my mom dropping me off and the tears cascading down my face as she walked away back towards our home.
Wasn’t it just yesterday that I graduated with my senior class? I remember being so annoyed because my father wanted to snap pictures of me in my cap and gown and all I wanted was to get out of there with my friends and celebrate my new found freedom from the “grind” of school.
Wasn’t it just yesterday that I got married? And wasn’t it just a few moments ago when my first child was born? How on earth did he turn into a man so quickly with children, a wife and a home of his own?
Wasn’t it just a short time ago that my beautiful oldest daughter came into my life with her cute little carrot nose and her delicate auburn hair? Suddenly she is a mother of two—and a most awesome one at that!
Wasn’t it just moments ago that my third child came into my world and brought the gift of sunshine and joy and laughter? And wasn’t it just milliseconds ago that she was graduating with her senior class and feeling somewhat annoyed that her dad and I wanted to capture the moments with our camera…???
Coming of age. It happens so fast. Cherish every moment you have. Time literally flies and before you know it—those moments ago are in reality years gone by and you find yourself wondering, what happened to all that time?
But do you know what the most wondrous and awesome moment is of them all? It’s that moment that has yet to come—you know—the one just around the corner lying in wait for you to experience it and bask in the joy and adventure of this wonderful life!
Each day that we awaken is a gift and an opportunity to make it even better than the day before. Rejoice in that knowledge and live yours with joy and abandon and truth. Coming of age is happening no matter what—let’s get out there and make our aged years gloriously exciting and fun filled ones!
No time to waste. Life is waiting…Are you ready? I am!!!!
