Memories are like life

There are so many memories racing thru my mind right now. I want to get them all down but that seems impossible. I realize I just need to take it one step at a time. Life is like that. One step at a time. Life like memories is sometimes like a gentle breeze that caresses you check on a cool summer night. You like it, and you want it to keep blowing so things don't get to hot. Then again, sometimes memories, like life, hit you like a tsunami. You never really see it coming and you can't really stop it, you have to roll with it or be sucked under. I have always tried to live by the rule that your attitude is everything. I believe in everything we have a choice. We may not like the choices but it is always there. So, we choose our attitiude. We choose how we are going to start our day. When we were kids, things seemed to be so much simpler. We played cowboys and indians, war, and my personal favorite, house. (even if Misti made me be a boy, lol!) We stayed out after dark to play hide and go seek, (with permission of course Mom). There was freeze tag, Red Light, Green Light, and Red Rover. Everyone knew the rules without actually saying them. One of us was always it, there were no tag backs, and if you got creamed in Red Rover, you just got creamed. Now days you have to watch out that no one gets their feelings hurt or heaven forbid, a boo boo. Lets face it, in a game of Red Rover, someone always gets hurt, lol! Realisticly, life is like that. We are going to get hurt, we are going to fall down, we are going to be "it" because someone can run faster than we can. But if we choose, we can make the best of what we have. We can choose to love, laugh, and play. That way whatever comes our way, the gentle breezes and the tsunamis we will be as ready as we can be.

God never promised us life would be easy, only that we would never be alone.
