Flashing By

Posted by BaBa under: Retrospect .

The other night I was looking through some of the photos on the laptop (there are plenty there). I fast forwarded through them at much more than 24 frames per second. It was a little like watching your life flash in front of your eyes. Well actually it was a lot like watching part of your life flash in front of your eyes. It was a surreal experience and it got me to thinking about memories and changes.

Life does just flash by our eyes even as we struggle to hold onto it, yet the harder we grasp the more it just slips away from us. However all we can do is to live fully in the moment and to cherish each precious experience along the way. Live purposefully and while we strive to be productive, remember to enjoy each experience. Look for the good in people and find the best in each situation. Don’t be so set on your agenda that you miss the beauty of the moment. Take time to smell the roses and to find the joy in the unexpected moment. Make memories for you that will last a lifetime for your family.

One Comment so far...

Thanks for the reminder to live now, not on what will be. I need to focus on now!
