Sailing On A New Ocean
Photo Courtesy of M D Robinson copyright 2007
I cannot help but feel I have charted a new course, one that is taking me on a journey that is moving a wee bit too quickly. It is whispered time moves at a different pace as you watch your children grow, there is absolutely no lie in this only blatant truth that seems to pick one up and shake a bit.
The waves are bigger now, cresting over the top taking time away at lighting speed. I spend hours now navigating us to the next destination, running at a phenomenal pace. I can only wish the hands of time would slow, but for now I will take in each moment and cherish them knowing that one day I will no longer be the navigator but rather a bystander.
WHEEEEEEEE! Put on your bikini & your sun hat & ride that wave as far as you can go! Yes, it's sometimes frightening, but wonderful, too. And whatever you do, hold his hand for as long as you can. One day he will want to let go.
Hugs, my friend.

The tide comes in, and the tide goes out, but the end result is that it repeats itself each day. Life is a circle, and although you may not be the navigator, everything that you instilled in your children will be repeated as they take the helm. The ship will keep sailing. Relax and enjoy it!

May you stand firm on your board and take the waves with a smile on your face and brightly colored maracas in your hands!
