Well, the day started out cold, dreary and dismal. I was one coffee shy of a splitting headache all morning. The sun has timidly made an appearance from behind the clouds and I am immediately feeling more Care Bearish.
Ruby you are playing in the laundry basket, which has proven to be one of your most favourite activities. Nikki, you are methodically picking up pieces of pita bread smothered in cream cheese and having a munch. Luigi is dancing around you, anticipating the inevitable tidbit that will come his way.
We have had an enjoyable morning. One of Momma's oldest friends "Auntie" Brandi, came by for a visit. She is a very courageous woman, full of spunk and enthusiasm. Auntie Brandi has just journeyed through a long battle with cancer and after numerous surgeries and treatments, she is still the same funloving girl I knew all those years ago in British Columbia. Just her presence is a reality check. Momma loves her and so do you Ruby. You would not leave her side!
I can remember when I was young, adults would harp on about how time flies. I shrugged it off as another boring theory. I could not fathom the truth in their words. As of late, I see this theory as a fact. The older I get, the more accelerated my life becomes. When I was in school I was always trying to hurry through a week in order to get to the weekend. Time would seem to stand still. Now, that I am older and try to relish every moment with the two of you, time slips through my fingers, like sand through the hourglass. These are the days of our lives... Seriously, just last year, you were tiny babies and now you are both precocious toddlers vying for my attention.
Ug, now I sound old. Sorry kidlets, no more melancholy. The next thing I'll be saying will be, "But I digress..."

I was thinking the other day about how nice it would be to have a bigger house, one with a double car garage so I could park the cars inside. Then I figured, by the time I have that house I will likely be 40, Maya will be about 6, and everything as I know it today will be totally different. Then I got sad and thought, man, I never want this time in my life to change, it is the most wonderful time and the greatest experience I have ever been blessed with. Regardless of what material objects we may be fortunate enough to obtain throughout our lives, it is really the life experiences that are important, everything else means shit. I have this vision of us now 5-10yrs down the road, looking back at today and cherishing every memory we have. Wow talk about a life changing experience!! I better get back to work now.
Well said bro and entirely true. These are the best years of our lives.
That is why I don't care about driving a 1990 Lumina, or living in a smallish house. We have the world by the tail, (as Ma would say;)
Cherish is the word I use to describe, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk.
