Moments in Time

"I've come to realize that life is more like Ole Yeller than any Hallmark or Lifetime movie."


LIFE: A Series of Moments in Time.

Moments held together by mundane, everyday life. 

Once in a while, we experience a life changing moment. That one will shape those that follow. 

Like a predictable Hallmark movie, some moments are in the shape of happiness. Those are the ones we want to hold onto forever, if only time would stand still.

Other moments reflect Lifetime movies. We just want them to pass so we can get on with our lives or turn back the clock.

Then, there's Ole Yeller...

I'm pretty sure that movie was wasted on me as a youngster.  But as an adult, I realize it was a foreshadowing of how life really works. 

Everyone has sad moments tossed in with some happy ones. 

Everyone has decisions to make that can't be undone. 

And each of us have bittersweet moments only we can define.

As I write this, our ten-year old dog Brutus is snoring at my feet. He's getting old and sometimes, he's a real pain. One day, he'll be gone...shucks, one day I'll be gone...and all that will remain are memories made in a moment in time.

How will that next moment be spent?
