Goosebumps!!

I had not listened to Enya for quite a long time. I love listening to her beautiful music and my hubby said, put some Enya on. I was just roaming through my groups and some blogs and I tell ya, listening to Enya....most of the time, it brings goosebumps to me....and of course, this time was no exception, I had goosebumps this time too. I love her music and I find if very relaxing. I never take the time that I should to do things just for myself. I get to "listen" to it from so many people. I do need to start taking time.....just for me.

Maybe that should be a "New Year's Resolution". Boy, time sure is sneaking up on me. Mom always said, the older you get, the faster time flies and boy was she right. I often wonder on a daily basis, where the time goes. It slips away so very fast. In the blink of an eye, at certain times, my life just seems to be passing me by. I sit and ponder about all the things I have done, haven't done and still would like to do...someday...

I sit and think about my children. My son is taller then me, at 12. My Little Miss Sydney, well I was standing by the dryer last night...folding clothes and talking on the phone, she looks at me and she hugs my leg. She says "I love you, Mama". Little moments like that, well before you know it, she is going to be hugging me on her graduation day. Yes, she is only 6, but the way time is going by so quickly, it will be here before I know it. Then there is my Courtney. Strong-willed and defiant. Someday she will figure it out....not to be so Independent and allow herself to be able to accept help. She will figure it out in her own good time.

We all want is the best for my children and to be accepted, but what I have found out...that now'a days, kids are very mean and cruel. I will leave it at that. I try to teach my children to be kind-hearted and respectful. They come home with stories of children and what they say and how they act. I tell them, not to worry. Don't let them upset you. Just go about your own business, it sounds like they have problems, is what I say. I tell them, maybe they have a really hard life and they have to try to bring you down...to make themselves feel better. And in most cases, that is totally true. After all, negativity and being miserable.........loves company.

I just hope they figure things out. As long as they try to be the best they can be, it is ok. Be true to yourself. Be loving, be king, be respectful. Love one another. It is ok to ask for help. Lend a helping hand, when someone needs it. Appreciate the little things in life. Never give up and look to the future. And if by chance they forget, they should always have a dream, of where they can follow their heart. Because Dreams do have wings and wings do take Flight!

Too many thoughts...I will leave you with that. Peaceful Thoughts to you, ~Tonya
