as a child i was brought up by loving parents in a conservative home, love always surrounded us and we felt security in knowing we were loved. respect and obey were utmost and we were rewarded as we showed them in return.non monetary rewards are the best. just a hug from a loving parent can say more than a thousand THINGS, and it's something you can never sell but only give to those that deserve it. it has taken many years of learning to understand what life is really all about. each day is as a passing second. time no longer stands still, as it seemed 50 years ago. time seems less important now. i concern myself with things that interest me, and care less for those minor annoyances. have a good laugh, smile more often, give a stranger a hug (you might want to ask first), smell a new born babies hair, tell your friends and loved ones your feelings, be straightforward, don't go round the table more than once,(take that as you may). walk with your head up so you see whats coming at you, and always have your eye's open so you don't miss anything important. hear what your loved ones say, don't just listen. understand we are not here forever. but for our children and childrens children and cherish those things now, that in an earlier life, i would not have noticed. special things happen more often than are given. if you give someone something it should not be a burden for them to carry. love is forever no matter how thick the wall is. and sometimes life does stand still (but only momentarily) just long enough to look back and see where i have gone

yep cherish what you have because you never know when it or you will be gone. I think about that everytime I look at my two litte girls, thanks for reminding me I am gonna take a second to give them some love and kisses!
