Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go round
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground
Ever followed a butterflies erractic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night
You better slow down
Don't dance too fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "how are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores running through your head
You better slow down
Don't dance too fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told a child we'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not seen his sorrow
Ever lost touch
Let a good friendship die
Because you never had the time to call and say "hi"
You better slow down
Don't dance too fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there
When you worry and hurry through your day
Its like an unopened gift thrown away
Life is NOT a race
DO take it slower
Listen to the music
Before the song is over
I know this may sound silly but stop, re-read it and then really think about it. These last few weeks have been so scary for me. I have had more ups and downs and I honestly didn't know which way to turn. I have realized so much over the lasto few weeks. I got so depressed and let myself get down. That is not me. That is who I used to be. Then we I realized that I let that person come back it made me angry and then that aggravated me because that is not me anymore either. I have so much to be thankful for. I am so blessed in so many aspects of my life. I have achieved so much in the last few years. I am proud of my and I have so much to be strong for and to fight for. Over the last few weeks I have forgotten about the little things that make me smile, that truly make me happy. I let fear of something unknown change the person that I want to be. Although I am still afraid of the upcoming months and the obstacles that I still have to face I am not going to focus on that. I have too much to be happy for, to be thankful for. I have the 3 most amazing children anyone could ever ask for, I have the best of friends that have shown me so much the last few weeks, I love my job and the road I am headed down......I LOVE MY LIFE!!!! I am so thankful and so blessed. Just wanted to share with you : )~
