Nice Reminder, Bob!  Thank you for that!

 

As a 20 year old, our "Winters" seem so far away that we don't learn to savour every moment that we can.  We're busy achieving, dreaming, working, raising families and doing all that we are told we "ought" to do, except.........enjoying the "Summer". 

 

But, all too quickly, the summer gives way to Fall and even then, we scarcely notice that it's set in.  It's still "Fair Days" and still quite pretty, although, not quite the carefree days of summer.  Again, we're still busy with now, nearly grown families and securing our future paths to retirement, grandchildren and future trips etc..  It's only as we approach or get into our "Winter" that we realize just how much "Spring, Summer and Fall" have been passed by and how much we should have taken advantage of it while we had it! 

 

However, if I were to be able to say a few good things about "Winter", it's that we've learned to appreciate all days now.  While we may not "ski" anymore, we can still enjoy a cup of hot coffee/chocolate as we watch our grandchildren ski and remind them to ENJOY their time doing it.  While we may not go out and shovel the snow anymore, we can teach those still in "Spring and Summer" about what we've learned during those "seasons" in some way or another.  We can now appreciate a "Winter Day" because we know how precious it truly is!  That's something that those still in "Spring, Summer & Fall" haven't learned to do just yet.  And, we can also appreciate the fact that every moment of EVERY day, no matter what the "season", is a worthwhile one and every action that we take has a purpose in some way or another.  That's another thing that those still in "Spring, Summer & Fall" haven't learned yet fully. 

 

Now, if only we could put "Winter Heads" on "Spring, Summer & Fall Bodies"..........we'd be PERFECT!!!!

 

Love and Light,

Louellen
