I love it Charean. How true. I myself have been guilty of excuses not to do something I like to do. I have learned to slow down and enjoy life on a daily basis. I have never experienced the near-death traumas that some of you have faced, but have gone through some very trying times and even though they seemed unbearable at the time, yes, I got through them.

I was talking about my 15 year old son with another woman, who also has a 15 year old boy. I believe I was complaining about my son not doing things like he should and after we talked for about 15 minutes about teenage boys, she said to me that she has learned how to spend quality time with her son and that she enjoys his presence on a daily basis because you never know from one day to the next what's going to happen and your son may not be with you. That thought has stuck in my head and I am trying to live with that thought in my head.

Also, how often do we take our partners for granted? I'm sure we're all guilty of that.

Yes, Seize the Moment.

It's always nice to stop in here and read something uplifting like this Charean. Thank you so much.
