Jan 23,2013 Woke up this morning
at 4:30 a.m. to be involved with MarShae's previews for "Into the
Woods". A thought I had as I watched each preview was, "I haven't one
regret for any time I ever spent with one of my children, regardless of the
inconvenience it might have been at the time.."
A line that MarShae Morris opens and closes the show with is "I wish"... How often in life have I wished for something that I later discover is insignificant, or a distraction.
My personal regrets are the important events that I wasn't present for, either physically or mentally. Life pushes onward and sometimes the busyness, worries, stress or fatigue leave us not really present...
"I wish... More than anything..." that I could rewind the clock...
Things that seemed important before just seem like a waste of energy...
Connection to our families and friends....giving of our time... Even if it is with half of a heart, because life events weigh us down, knowing that we did our best in the circumstances...
"I wish... More than anything.." my life could be lived without regrets...
We truly don't know when someone we love and care about could prematurely leave our physical presence. The hole and emptiness that is left behind is just that... a large gaping hole.. I am grateful that I have very limited regrets especially in the last year of Madie's life.
So thankful for my family and the lives my grown children are living... Also that I have a wonderful husband and two lovely daughters still living at home to give me things to be involved in on a daily basis...I don't know if I would get out of bed without these girls right now. My guess is I wouldn't... I am grateful for tender mercies as I attempt to live in whatever fog or haze that seems to envelope my present life..
Oh how "I wish..... more than anything....." that I could have
"One more day, ONE. DAY. MORE..." with all my family together...
