Time Marches On

I have been feeling rather contemplative lately, it amazes me sometimes how fast time is going, how quickly my babies are getting older, how "Time Marches On". This is one of my favourite Tracy Laurence songs, it really sums it up for me some days.

I look back on my years as a mum and a wife and so much has happened in the last 9 years, so much has changed, mostly for the better, sometimes for the worse but always changing either way. It is hard to believe sometimes, the girl I was at 19 when I found out I was pregnant has grown and changed so much, I see glimpses of that girl sometimes, playing Mouse trap with the kids yesterday, having a bath with Makenzie like I used to years ago when Jessie was a baby, laughing and crying at silly things.

All of those things make up who I am today, every scrapped knee I have kissed, every dinner I have made every load of washing I have done, all the friends I have lost, all the friends I have gained, it is hard to think about sometimes - life rolls on, babies turn into children, children turn into teenagers and before I know it I will be another 30 years older holding grandchildren on my knee.

I don't know what the point is, why I am thinking about it, but I am so glad to be able to think about it, so glad to have the life I have and the family and love that I do, the happiness and the cuddles cuggles and the laughter and the tears. I wish everyone could feel the fullness in my heart at the way my life is because it it is bursting with joy sometimes!

That is all,

Mel
