Hello!
We have been travelling! Uganda, Kenya,Canada, U.S.A. !
As we go through the days, weeks, and months, we are busy, but never too busy to stop and reflect on all the wonderful things God has given us to enjoy.......
Like family ! As our children have grown , got their educations, jobs, families, we are blessed at how well they manage their lives!
We feel like, yes, after all, we did make the right choices in how we raised them! In spite of our shortcomings,they are doing fine!
As we have had a time of sorting out old photos, the memories are overwhelming! Holidays, birthdays, major event days at school!
At one time, I had all these photos in very organized albums, then into a box, without the albums, and now, onto my computer: but always, always, in our hearts.
Going through them all, a lifetime passed before my eyes. It went so fast, the days ,the months, the years!
Now it is the grandchildren speeding by!
Some learning to walk, to read ! Some in university! ! Plans for future careers! We are thankful for any days we have together, and don't regret the events we have missed, we are just enjoying the moments to the full!
The secret to not being over whelmed by nostalgia: enjoy the moment, the day, the year!
This is a skill we learned early, and have it fine-tuned!
So as I write this, our oldest son and his wife are cleaning living room windows, I listen to their conversation, and enjoy the pragmatic moment! The vacuum cleaner hums, the moment is homey!
I love it, and will tuck it away, for when we are far away, Canada, Kenya, Uganda!!!
We pack the memories very carefully into our hearts! They don't crease if you fold them right!
Living the moments makes the following statement soooo true:
ANYWHERE YOU HANG YOUR HANG YOUR HAT IS HOME!
HAVE A MEMORABLE MOMENT, DAY, WEEK, YEAR,
HUGS AND BLESSINGS FROM US,
Bob and Paulette
