Planning for the future is definitely important, but when it constantly takes away what Today is giving us then your efforts become burdens and time slipps away. <br /><br />I love this quote:<br /><br /> "The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present." <br /><br />~Alice Morse Earle <br /><br />I love and miss you all dearly.Emily Elliot-Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584775537737656276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127129747216430015.post-65826263322686947272012-07-27T21:49:59.553-07:002012-07-27T21:49:59.553-07:00It will slow down. There will come a time when you...It will slow down. There will come a time when you forget for periods about any of this heart patient crazy mommy. <br /><br />There will be a time when you will get so much time alone with him to bond (ie: preschool and kindergarten for Ava). He'll get the one on one and the things to fight for. <br /><br />We HAVE to get together! I want them to meet so bad.<br /><br />Anyway, your post reminds me of a poem.<br /><br />My dishes went unwashed today ...<br /> <br />My dishes went unwashed today, <br />I didn't make the bed,<br />I took his hand and followed<br />Where his eager footsteps led.<br /><br />Oh yes, we went adventuring,<br />My little son and I...<br />Exploring all the great outdoors<br />Beneath the summer sky<br /><br />We waded in a crystal stream,<br />We wandered through a wood...<br />My kitchen wasn't swept today<br />But life was gay and good.<br /><br />We found a cool, sun-dappled glade<br />And now my small son knows<br />How Mother Bunny hides her nest,<br />Where jack-in-the-pulpit grows.<br /><br />We watched a robin feed her young,<br />We climbed a sunlit hill...<br />Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky,<br />We plucked a daffodil.<br /><br />That my house was neglected,<br />That I didn't brush the stairs,<br />In twenty years, no one on earth<br />Will know, or even care.<br /><br />But that I've helped my little boy<br />To noble manhood grow,<br />In twenty years, the whole wide world<br />May look and see and know.<br /><br /><br />Author: UnknownMolly B.noreply@blogger.com
