If's...

Some may not understand why and where some of my thoughts come from but sometimes I don't either. It is not something I sit and think about, well not most of the time. But usually when the words come they come from the heart for reasons, or for no real reasons other than, that what happens to come bubbling out from my heart.

So here are my bubbles for tonight

.

If you didn't have the time of the world and you knew what was to come would you love any different. Would you take the time to stop and appreciate the closeness of those you love or those that love you? 

What if?

We all wait for tomorrow to come, and we expect tomorrow to be here. But there will be a day that tomorrow will not come. This is not to be a doom and gloom thought, quite the opposite. It is not our tomorrows that we should be looking at. But rather than our todays. We always wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow I will get out. Tomorrow I will be a better person. Tomorrow I will help one person. Tomorrow will be the day I love a little more. I could go on and on...but that is enough, I get the point...I think you do to.

If time stood still we would never run out of it and then nothing would ever change, and everything would stay the same. But Time continues to move and it passes by even as I sit here. So what are we doing with our Time? Waiting for tomorrow to come, or looking at today and what is here and now? Time marks our time here and what we do. So as we let time and days slip away, never to be gotten back, do we sit back and say "what if" for the time that we have lost or do we cherish that time? 

If we have lost time, we cannot let that time that was lost fill our todays with if's. All we can do is look forward and remember the Time that we did not loose and learn from it so our Todays are not filled with if"s. Now I am not referring to regret, this is about "if's". The time we wish "what if" I would have said this, done this, etc. We will all have these times but if we live each day with the "Hope" to make it better in some way, no mater how small it may be. Then we will have the "Faith" that today and tomorrow may be a little better. And why because the "Love" in our hearts would be shining thru.

So where am I going with all this....well to go all around the tree just to get to this simple spot, it is just this. Love those around you and see the world around you, really see it. And take that extra second to let those in your life know that you love them. And always remember the little things are usually the most important. And never take it (life/love/relationships) for granted. We all only have so much time, don't let that time be filled with "if's"The three words that I hold on to every day are above.

But just in case you missed them here ya go...

"Faith, Hope, & Love"
