Cause You've Only Got 100 Years to Live

It seems like only yesterday I was playing on the monkey bars and tire swings at my elementary school. Playing with crayons and practicing cursive while drink out of those little milk chugs. Next thing I blink and I am an adult. Where has the time gone? I was just a little girl yesterday, and now I am young lady. It is incredible how fast time goes, I don't want to miss a second of this here-today-gone-tomorrow world we are living in.

It is crazy how fast time goes. I look back and I do not remember the days, but I remember the special memories I have made, the goals I have accomplished and, of course the tragedies. Your hourglass only has so much sand, when it runs out you cannot tip it over and start again. Sometimes I catch myself caught up in this fast paced life. I have to remind myself often of what is important to me, and that I need to put first things first. We cannot let the chaos sometimes present in the world around us change who we are, or who we want to be.

Next thing I know I'll wake up one morning and I'll have a family. Little babies to take care of, who in the blink of an eye will be all grown up themselves. It is important to cherish the time that we have with children, and to just let them be little, because they won't be little forever.

 Take every breath God gives you for what it is worth and make the most of the time you have with those you love. For tomorrow is not granted to us nor our family and friends. You could let just life pass you by, but most of us would wake up one day from the haze and regret that we let time pass us in that way. You only get one life, so fall in love with as many things as possible. That is what life is all about. Love friends and family, pets and places, love the world you live in and the life you have been given. Fall in love with your soul mate, and share each others hopes and fill each others dreams. Make the most out of the life you have been given.
