Better As A Memory...

Getting older is both bitter and sweet. Recently I have been learning life lessons. I'm sure they were always there for the taking, but just now at this point in my life do they apply or even make sense. It's a bitter feeling to know that everyday is one day closer to death, but so sweet to be able to look in the mirror and start to recognize the person looking back at you.

Sometimes I think the memory of a situation is so much better then the way it actually was. History often repeats itself, but relationships were not meant to. The phrase..."that ship's sailed" comes to mind. I have accepted that I am probably better as a memory as well.

You hear the phrase, "Live, Laugh, Love." I have decided to go a little more detailed with it, and make a few changes...Laugh like a child, Love like it's your first, and Pray like a sinner. I love to hear kids giggle and laugh uncontrollably. You will never be as trusting and true then as you were with your first love. To pray like a sinner, is holding nothing back from God. I often hear people pray and they sound so rehearsed and flowery. A true sinner hits the ground on their knees, and does not try to pull one over on God, but recognizes that they will sin again before the sun sets.

"I never stay, but then again I might..."
