It's Been a Long Time . . . 

 

since I wrote.

 

As I just read the previous blogs, I noted that all I could write about was my times and musings of my mother and father for the past year. Well, why not? They have been filling my mind. They have been my Universe. My life has been revolving around and with their orbits.

 

I don't regret it.

 

As one gets older, one should cherish all the thoughts and moments one can get because life gets shorter and shorter, seemingly getter smaller and smaller. I have already lived 2/3rds of my life according to my own parents' life spans. I only have 1/3 left. That's 30 years but 30 years doesn't seem like a lot anymore. Better pack life into what's left. Before you know it, you can't half see or hear and you might be taking baby steps once again just to get to the car that you aren't supposed to be driving anymore.

 

Thirty years is a blink in time. Maybe not even that much.

 

Maybe it's time to expand one's Universe. Continue to expand one's mind. Extend one's geographic pull of effective and affectiveness on loved ones, people in general and the cosmos.

 

One seismic ripple in the waters of life can be far-reaching. Make sure it's a good ripple. Be a positive force in your galaxy.

 

Remember, we don't just live on a certain street but rather within a huge thing floating in space. Are we really grounded or just a speck orbiting on and with a breathing, blue planet around a hot star that shines on us during the day and lets the moon take over at night? We are floating, suspended, yet moving in the Heavens according to plan. 

 

When you look up at the stars at night, know that within is a fascinating Universe too that is constantly playing out individual functions that create a whole being. Someone that was just a twinkle in someone else's eyes.
