Treat today as a celebration, – of the precious time that we have here on this earth, – a tribute to all the beautiful things that make up our lives. We often are not so much participants in life as observers, and we are most fortunate to have lived in our special place, and time.
Most especially we treasure our friends, and memories. There are many memorable events – the turning of the seasons, the vibrancy of Spring – and life renews itself with daffodils and crocuses blooming along a walkway; dogwood, redbud – and the indolence of Summer, and the coming of Autumn – and the incredible beauty of a shower of golden leaves – having someone to love – and someone who loves you in return. Kisses are important – most especially are kisses to be remembered.
We’re here for such a brief time, but if we can make some sense out of life, and look at it with wonder and amazement, and leave some record of it behind for those who follow us, then we have made a contribution – and it has all been worthwhile.
My thought for today is drawn from a speech in the television series The Waltons that rings true and seems àpropos.
