Capture That Moment



I'm Sure There Are Some Who Have Had Moments In Their Lives When They Stop And Realize That Moments Like This Won't Be Around Much Longer.
You Think It Could Be A Getting Older Kind Of Thing? That Very Well May Be, But There Is Alot Of Truth In It Whether It Happens To You Or Not.
Not Everything Will Be The Same Tomorrow, A Year From Tomorrow And Especially 10 Years From Tomorrow.
As You Live A Moment You Realize There Won't Be Too Many More Like It Again.
For Example, I Am Fortunate To Have Both My Parents Alive. It Gives Me Great Pleasure In Being Able To Interact With Them In Settings We All Receive Pleasure In.
Presently I Bowl On The Senior Citizen Bowling League. I Am One Of The Youngest Bowlers There And Thats Fine Because I Intend On Bowling On That League For As Long As My Health Allows It. Anyway It's Great To Have Both My Parents Bowl On The Same League. We All Share Our Love For Bowling And Have For Several Years Now. As A Matter Of Fact The Three Of Us Will Be Heading To Indianapolis To Watch The Pro Bowlers Qualify For That Weeks Title Match. We Always Look Forward To This Special Outing Each Year.
We Meet Once A Week To Play The Game Of Euchre. My Friend Of Many Years "Chris" And I Travel To Westville Where My Parents Live To Play Three Hours Of The Best Card Game In The Midwest.
Yet Then Again There Are Moments In Time That I Would Be Serving The Memories Of Those Younger Than Myself. My Grandchildren For Example.
As An Adult I Can Remember Times When I Was A Child And The Times I Shares With My Grandfather. He Was The First One To Take Me Fishing You Know.
I Know That Someday My Children And My Grandchildren Will Someday Look Back At The Special Moments In Time They Had With Their Pappy.
I Would Have To Say One Of The Cruelest Thing About Life Is Death. There Are Times I Wish Things Would Always Stay The Same.
I Have Found Myself Get Teary Eyed After Watching A Tearjerker Movie Because It May Trigger A Memory In A Place In My Own Life That Was Also Touching.
So Whether I Am The One Who Is Clinging On To The Memory, Or Creating The News Ones For Those That Come After Me, I Know How Special They Are.
So As We All Live Our Everyday Life, We Are Making Memories Not Just For Ourselves, But For Others As Well.
So I Have Made A Promise To Myself. Each Night I Will Thank God For Giving Me That Day. I Will Also Thank Him For The Memories Of That Day, Be It For Me Or A Special Memory For Someone Else. Knowing That 50 Years From Now My Child Or Grandchild Will Be Cherishing The Memories Of Years Gone By. Some Of Us Know It As The "Kodak Moment" Because Kodak Wants Us To. Hahaha!!
I Hope I Live Up To That Memory And Let It Be A Fond One At That!

Just Call Me Mac....
