Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

Where does the time go?  What happened to the 20-year-old me?  How will our children change as they become adults?  What a trip it is to become older.  And what a blessing time brings.  Wisdom.  Patience.  Understanding.  Reflection.  New experiences.  Surprises.  Change. 

These are the time-related questions and thoughts I find myself contemplating these days.  The older I get, the less I realize that I know for certain. 

I think my husband described time well in his song, New Life:

"Time is an illusion
But it still feels too short to me"

CV lesson of the day for me, and maybe you!  Seize the moment.  Seize the day.  Love the time you have to experience the gift of your life.  And happy Wednesday, April 6th, 2011.

"Oh, oh how I'd like to know,oh,

Happy week, and thank you for your thoughts and wishes in your comment to us and for Japan.

Time is question(s), you're right. And your portrait is beautiful, like the angels which I can see here :)

Wonderful thoughts about time, which is really an astonishing phenomenon!

We should all take time to enjoy the moment and not have regrets of yesterday or the worries of tomorrow. I see where your children get their beauty from. xo

Live now, reflect later... I try, but I often get pulled into past, future or parallel worlds.

You are right though, getting older does wonders for our appreciation of time.

You were and still are a lovely looking woman!

I don't know where the time goes, and you have the answer better than I do, I sense that. But we did create some amazing human beings during the last several years. I love the photo of your kids, and the clip of you.

Nothing like kids to make you think about time. Things change every day.
