sometimes...

Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I am ungreatful. Sometimes I take for granted. Sometimes I lose my temper. Sometimes I lose track of what matters. Sometimes I am compleatly clueless.

Do you ever notice how immediatly after a loss or a death everyone all of the sudden remembers how important the little things are? After someone passes away and you have to do the greiving all of the sudden what you have is a lot more important. Why is it that it takes something life altering and devistating to stop and smell the roses? Why cant we be greatful and happy and forgiving and patient all of the time not just when things go bad?

Every time I look at photos of my kids and family, or old photos of childhood friends I always think about how good I have it and how I never am greatful enough for the things I have or had and the people in my life.

its so dang easy to forget what you have and just live the everyday routine, and then all of the sudden something happens and you realize that your normal routine can be changed at any second!!!

what will it take for me to STOP and enjoy what I have? do I have to wait until it is gone to be thankful for it? I sure hope not.
