Time Of Your Life

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time


It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.


So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while


It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.


One of my co-worker found out recently that his father-in-law has cancer.  It was well progressed and even though he's not that old, for a Grandpa, the only treatment available to him would be aggressive and very painful.  He chose not to take treatment, and today my co-worker was called home by his wife because his father-in-law had taken a turn for he worse.

I'm not close with this family, but my heart and prayers go out to them.  This man is young at heart, and until his diagnosis with cancer had been running daily and even participated in marathons.  Youthful at heart, God is calling him home soon. 

This is why I posted the words to the Greenday song above.  It's also in the music you'll hear while reading my blog.  This song touches my heart because that is what life is really about.  If your life is long-lived or if someone is here for just a short time, enjoying that life is what is important.  Love, family, friendship....all so important. 

Look for happiness, be true to yourself, be a good friend, love your family with all your heart, and always try to do the right thing.  Not always easy!  And I'm not saying that I have a grip on all of this but it's a life process.  I'm working really hard right now to make sure that I don't have regrets as I get older.  Well, we all have regrets, but I'm working harder on making the right decision and to make sure that I'm a good mom and a good wife.  That's what life is about for me.
