isn't it so funny how our priorities change , years ago when Ross first got a computer , I got myself in such a state when anything went wrong with it , Then he got his HND and taught himself so much about it that I stopped worrying about it , then when we got the Internet I got worried again because we couldn't control it ( he was fine ) but I worried I would tick the wrong thing ,we have having problems with AOL , its not AOL really is the BT connection which has been reported , and I went to bed and went to sleep without giving it another thought , It just goes off when it feels like it ,
Anyway what I am really trying to say is , most of you know how My youngest son is disabled ( lovelier Son you couldn't have ) we have to older sons and four gorgeous grandchildren, My parents both have Alzheimer's Both still at home and brilliant , my hubby has had a triple bypass operation , Now I am not looking for sympathy as we are a really happy family , I am not going to tell you I don't worry about them because I do , but I am just really saying that I don't bother now if I haven dusted every morning or I have done the ironing this week or indeed if the PC isn't working right , if you have someone to love and you are lucky enough for them to love you back as I do , then please take time to enjoy that love as you won't have them forever,xxxx

Hi, when i read what you have written, i realise my miseries are so less as compared, and am thankful for the little mercies i have. I can well understand when you say that we should value the treasured, precious moments which we have and hold onto them, as time passes, they never return. I have also lost my mother, and to date havent been able to over come her loss, shes left such a vaccum. And the true value of the person somehomw comes later, when they are no more. I wish it werent so, and we would all live lovingly. No one stays forever, just their memories remain.

Aww weemam, I can practically create a novel about your life and your family, lol. You are indeed blessed with beautiful people and loads of love blossoming around your heart. Treasure it as I agree that love is truly special. I only hope that all the people in this universe will experience it. Sadly, love is not for everyone. Many still continue to seek and try to understand what love really is all about.

I like the message you have for us - if you have someone to love and you are lucky enough for them to love you back, then please take time to enjoy that love as you won't have them forever - it is really meaningful and I feel it applies to all of us here. Thanks. Huggssss.

The moral here is don't take your loved ones for granted because you never know what is around the corner and sometimes it can be too late. Each day is precious and just by telling your nearest and dearest that you appreciate them, love them or think the world of them goes a long way, it puts everything else into great perceptive!

that was a sweet, touching post!! you got me to cry weemam.
You are so very right. our priorities change with time and experience. with time we get to learn the importance of certain things. thesame thing would previously go un noticed, uncared for. I have struggled to make my marriage work, i have done what-nots, may be i have even done donots and this is killing for a relationship. i did not prioritise certain things which i should have highly at that point in time. Like now, i would rather spend time with my neices and nephew and get killed by their exuberance rather than doing dishes or would sit by my granny and listen to her babbles instead of checking on my next day'a appointments or even get a nice blast from my mom for sneezing and catching cold rather than watching some stupid act on TV.
Time flies and now i try to make the best out of it and living it to the fullest give me an immense pleasure and happiness untold. Love is life, afterall.
Thank you for motivating me.
smiles...

You are so right weemam, there is nothing more precious than love; it overrides everything else and puts everything else into insignificance. Without it we are nothing. The thing is, we don't tell people how we feel about them and that is something that I am working on; they wont always be around, so we should sieze the opportunity and let them know how we feel.
So I am taking this opportunity to say what I have already told you, but will say again - thank you for being a good friend, (far surpassing our myLot relationship), and making our friendship very personal and real.
Great discussion!

I agree with you. I love my family and they are my life of course and I have my friends too. I stay in touch with my mother which I call her every week and she lives so far away from me and its hard for us to see each other and we only see each other on Holidays and I know she won't be here forever as I have lost my dad 14 years ago.

As long as you stay in touch with her pal , I know people who only live minutes away from their family's and never speak to them , My Mum always knew I loved her and I knew she loved me but just in the last year I have told her every night I love her , It felt a wee bit strange at first but now it comes quite naturally , I didn't want to wish I had said it when it was too late xxx

You're really lucky and your loved ones are really happy to have you. I just wanted to share these insights I read from the net which I found as a really good advice. "If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have rooms for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical check-ups. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the fence."

Thank brew and you are right , there was a day I would not have left my house unless I had vacuumed and dusted , my priorities have now changed , I still like a clean house but it it comes after everything else now , if its not done then there is always another day welcome to My Lot xxxx
