Cycles of Spirals

So may things I have seen, done and experienced in life, yet my life still seems so small and insignificant. So many people I have met, loved and known, yet, in the end when I leave this world I will do so alone. Each time I feel the wind on my face, seems like the first time. And every time I gaze at the beauty of autumn trees clothed in rich hues of gold, red and amber I think that this autumn is even more beautiful than last years was.

I want to drink up life, for everything its worth, seeking out the good that I believe still exists in this chaotic world around us. I strive to enjoy every precious moment spent with my family, hoping and praying that each one will bring special memories to my mind's scrapbook.

It's funny, but when our kids grow up and leave the nest, this is exactly how we start viewing life. We begin to realize just how precious and short life really is. I never thought that this would be me saying these things, but there it is!

I can't go back to the past and regain the moments gone by, but I can surely make the most of everything that is left for today. Leaving regrets behind, so that I don't waste even more precious time that I could be enjoying with them, I know that I can truly be in the moment with my family. The past is gone, and the cycles of spirals in time continue on...
