Life Changes

As we get older we start to gain a much narrower perspective on what actually is important in life. Lately I have found myself wanting more time to enjoy simple things and less time acquiring things. I watch my granddaughter in her exersaucer, bouncing up and down, with a big smile on her face and realize that her smile is one of those simple things. Seeing my nephew's eyes light up when he comes across a new train or holds a duckling at the County Fair are also those simple things I have come to enjoy. These "moments" have certainly started outweighing the things we think are important as younger adults. It's nice to have "things" but smiles, hugs and excitement can't be purchased. I think I will make a point each day of cherishing those moments before they disappear! Life changes can be what we make them. I think I will take my life changes and fill them with smiles, hugs and excitement. :o)
