Today

I always said that time started flying faster once we had children.  This was very evident when I sat back seat while Simon drove home with Nathan beside him.  They were the laughing and having a great time talking and just being brothers and teenagers.  It felt like yesterday that they were toddlers. I am proud of everything they have become and look forward to see what is in their future.

But this week was a sad week for other parents who lost teenagers.  I cried when I had heard about the accidents, thinking about what the parents, siblings, friends and family must be going through.   I went home and hugged all my children.  So this weekend we took some extra family time and just enjoyed it.

Realize that you can take nothing for granted.   We are always looking into the future but we cannot lose today wishing for tomorrow.  So plan for your tomorrow but get there by focusing on today.  Enjoy your today, live your today, don't waste any minute of today.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.
