Last week Thursday was Alexis birthday and she turned 12. Zavier turned 9 on Sunday. On Thursday morning when I hugged her to wish her happy birthday she looked me in the eyes and told me she was getting old. 😁. Yes Alexis and I are basically the same height and you all know I’m not short. The thing that got me was where did the time go? When did she get to 12 and Zavier to 9? All I saw when I was looking at Alexis was the baby they placed in my arms 12 years ago. What happened to my baby?

Last week I was talking to Markel and I swear I did not see a grown man but the little baby boy who came to me with a face and shirt full of melted ice cream. I can laugh now but at the time I was frantic, and kept asking him why did you eat the ice cream? He replied everybody was having so I had ice cream also. Well he was sick later but …….🤦🏾‍♀️.

I now understand what my mother meant when she said you will be a parent for life. They will always be my babies. It’s just so surreal that time moves rapidly. Wow, what can I say we just need to make those memories.

Just like looking at my kids again showed me the fact that time waits on no one. Don’t tell yourself that you can do something later when it can be done now. This is especially true when you have kids. Treasure the time you have with them because they grow up really fast. Also treasure those relationships that you have as time as I said is promised to nobody.

My kids did show me dramatically that time had slipped away and I did take a look at me in the mirror. Where is the young girl that was so enthusiastic about life and all it entails? Looking back was a woman that had seen a lot and experienced a lot. None of which I would change as they made me who I am. I would not turn back time.

The thing is if we are not careful time will slip away and one day we wake up wondering where did it go. Some many persons have said that to me. Where did the time go? They just never noticed what was happening as they might have been focused on the wrong thing or nothing at all. Time waits on no one and it doesn’t care if you use it or you don’t.

I sat wondering last week if I should make some changes in my life and then realized it’s fine as it’s never too late as it’s my life and I still have the time 😉. I’ll just go for it. If it doesn’t work out so be it but it’s important to try. As my Dad would say “never look back on your life and wished you had, look back knowing you did.”

Rona has showed us that anything can happen that we would never expect. Look at the world now, one and half year later and it will never be the same as it was before. The thing is we can’t turn back time we just have to move forward. The idea of marking time might appeal to some but it doesn’t work. Life has to go on. It is after all “life.”

How do you see time and your life? I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.

Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife.
