In our younger days, we couldn't wait to be older. We didn't like the start of school because it ruined all those summer nights and fun. We had to go to bed early so we could be on the bus in the morning. Our parents were allowed to stay up and watch TV to all hours of the night, we supposed.
We came home at night and had to do homework while mom got to have all that fun in the kitchen. We would help with the supper dishes while dad got to go sit in on the sofa and read the paper. Where was the justice in all of this?
Now we look at the young and think how do they get so much energy? How can they run and play like that and never seem to tire out? We wish we could get in on some of this fun.
We put them down for a nap and think how lucky they are to be able to rest in the middle of the day.
I guess when it comes down to it, we are happy looking into the future or the past rather than living in the present. I say we just enjoy today for what it is ~ a wonderful life.
