These are only a few of course, time is different to everyone of us.
I haven't had time to check in on any one's blog lately, actually thought about doing away with mine...But who would I whine to!!!! Whether anyone reads them or not sometimes it just feels better to write life down...

For over half my life mine was spent fighting traffic to punch a time card and then later swipe my badge. I lived for the daily thrill and drama of the Operating Room, long hours spent with my hands in places that would make some people cringe...I let that time consume me...And I thought I loved that life so much that I couldn't imagine not doing it! Meanwhile my daughter was busy growing up, and a I was missing precious time with her by trying to provide for us...

There are people in my life I wish I'd not wasted my time on (a few of them are of the opposite sex, I'm sure I'm not the only one that has some of these skeleton's in their closet, except mine is the size of a small cemetery)

On my daughters wedding day there wasn't enough time for me to sit back and take in her grace and beauty, I never dreamed that I could be the Mother of something so wonderful and amazing as her...and the past seven months with our adorable grandson have been the most precious time imaginable.
We have two beautiful grandchildren!!! What an amazing blessing that is!

And of course my first attempt at being a small business owner....Oh Boy!!! Did I have a lot to learn....When I started doing the farmers markets I had no clue what I was doing and how much work it actually is...and now, I could easily join the carnival...I can put up and take down a tent and set up a display in record time...And the things you see at the Farmers Market....There was the time one Friday afternoon around 4pm we watched as two State Patrols had this fella pulled over for what from our view, was a DUI...It took two hours for this poor man to try and pass a sobriety test....every time he failed he would get more animated coming up with every reason he could think of why he couldn't pass it(I believe scoliosis was mentioned once)....finally the big dog came in(literally)...and that was the end of the road for him! This could quite possibly be shown on Cops! We weren't sure if we should cheer for that pathetic driver or those poor State Troopers.

And now, my time is spent cherishing what precious days I have with my Mother...
I was sitting by my Mothers beside in ICU when the doctors told her she was dying from COPD and there was nothing they could do but make her comfortable...I watched as they walked away and my Mom pulled the cover over her face and cried...That is one moment in time I'll never forget! I've signed all the necessary papers and made some hard decisions, and the one thing I've found out is that all those years in the medical field never prepared me for this...
Time spent watching someone you love struggle to do something so simple as breathe.
When walking from one room to the next is exhausting. Something as simple as bathing is horrible choir.


Now, time is spent driving or flying back and forth to help with my Mothers care..for weeks of good and bad night and days...Were thankful for the good days and we pray through the bad ones
According to the Doctors she should already be gone, but according to a higher Doctor she is still fighting the battle...And I will fly,drive or walk if I have to to help her fight it.

Your Time is Precious! Spend it Wisely!
