Let me tell yall some straight up shit here. Im not much on keeping a *spotlessly* clean house. I dont obsess over sweeping and dusting and such. My house isnt filthy mind you, but you come in here and you are going to leave wearing dog hair, and lots of it! Just how it is. However, I did have a plan to do some cleaning today...but, just sort of a spur of the moment thing, as life sometimes hands us and not all of us recognize it for what it is...I spent most of the day yakking on the porch with Uncle Pete, Uncle Jerry, cousin Dani, (in between them making tomato sauce and juice) and my sister (between her going back and forth her place to mine!) Did I get my planned housework done? No. Did I accomplish something? Yes. I had a wonderful afternoon/evening with some of my family. As Uncle Pete says: Priorities. Making memories. Folks, I speak from experience, let the little shit go and when the opportunity is there to chat with family or friends...DO IT. Almost everything else will still be there waiting for you. I would gladly give the rest of my life for one more evening with my Gerrod, yakking on the porch, or laughing by the campfire, or doing any damn thing, it doesnt even matter what as long as it was with him. Our lives are so fragile. Not one of us is guaranteed another day on this earth. Two of my PA families know what Im saying. This summer they lost family members in a single instant, just like we did our Gerrod. You angry with a family member? Mend it. Now. As best you can anyway. Have a fight with a dear friend? Make it right. Now. Dont hold on to that stuff. It is SO not worth it. I know all of us have loved ones that have died. But truly, there are different deaths...the ill, the elderly and such. When you have someone die totally unexpectedly it changes your life FOREVER. If you have never experienced that, I pray you never do. Tell your loved ones you love them! Spend time with them, time is the most precious thing we have these days. Make some memories. Give a part of yourself every chance you get. Dont live with regrets and I wish I would haves, it will tear you up! I post a lot of junk on here, but this is from my heart. I simply want to remind all my friends here of all the above. Were human, we get busy, we forget. Sometimes we need a nudge. Take this as one big *wordy* nudge! Yes, I can out-talk a lot of people (except maybe my dear friend Gina Brown!) Just ask my family! So, thats what I have to say. If you read this far, bless your heart! And I love you.
