Pumpkin Patch 2014!!

Every year my parents, siblings, myself & my children head over to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. Each year what we do with them after changes though. We have painted them, put stickers on them, got Mr. Potato Head like arms, legs, and face pieces etc. It's always been a family tradition. and my children and I looooooove traditions!! :)

Memories

A place, a smell, a song, a favorite TV show, many things can trigger a memory.

Time never stops, it doesn't stop to help you grieve, to help you move forward. You have to heal all while still living and dealing with daily life things. Time doesn't care if you're depressed, it doesn't care if you need more time.  Time doesn't care. There is no pause button, no do-over button. You get one chance in life to do the best you can, with what you have.

What I've learned in life is you are never guaranteed a tomorrow. A conversation, a text, a hug, a kiss, a smile, may be your last with someone, and you may never know, until it's too late. So, hug a little tighter, kiss a little longer, talk a lot more, and cherish every second. Never take a single person, second, or memory for granted.

On another topic, It's crazy to think that I've been a mother for 10 years. It feels like it's gone so fast but also like I blinked and 10 years flew by. I find myself wishing I would of taken more pictures. spent more time, and worried more about the small, important things, rather than the things that didn't and still don't matter.

I remember feeling like I couldn't possibly live without certain people, well look at me living and shit. Lol I've learned that hard moments are not forever, nor are the good ones. Life is a roller-coaster and you take the bad with the good. It's part of being alive. I just remind myself to take deep breaths and wait it out because eventually the roller-coaster will take me back up.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Memories can trigger pain but at least we have those memories, even the bad ones have taught us something and have helped mold us into the people we are today. Wouldn't it be crazy if we could pop out movies in like a CD and watch all of them over again? What an adventure that would be!

I really have no real reason for writing this. I am not sad or melancholy, just a random thought that I was thinking about. :) But just for the sake of this blog, do me a favor and hug your loved ones tonight just a little longer. :)
