I found this quote, and I think it is sooooo true!
Don't you agree? Life goes by so fast you really don't believe it until you get to your 50's when it really hits you right in the heart. You wake up and say to yourself what the hell was I doing all those years! I can honestly say I can't remember much of my 30's, and the sad part is my daughter asks me about when she was a baby and I just can not remember it. I think we were just so busy doing a lot of nothing which is so sad. You know how they say if you could only go back in time? It is so true! I would spend so much more time with my kids and really just focus on them. Now I know you are saying you were a stay at home mom how did you NOT have time to focus on them? That's the part that I just can't figure out myself! Where was I? What was I doing? If there is one thing I can pass on to my kids is to really savor every day. I know my daughter is at a cross roads right now, she feels she is wasting days and she is. I pray that things work out for her and she enjoys what life has to offer her! Right now she is letting life pass her by but not grabbing the bull by the horn and getting out there and living. As a parent you can only push so much, the rest has to come from them. I told her countless times while we were homeschooling her that she needed to apply herself to her studies if she wanted to get a good job and make some good money but she never did. Being young is a time of feeling like you can do anything and she doesn't have that feeling and I am very sad about that. I feel like I have let her down in so many areas, possibly if she had gone to public school she would have found a teacher who would have sparked her interest in something, but I guess there is no looking back only forward. Like the say, Work for a living don't live to work!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!
