And you know how you have times in life you wish you could go back and relive? I already know this will be one of those. Why can't we have a freeze button and just stop time right now?
We've been having a lot of great weekends but the weekdays aren't shabby either, and I just want life to always be just like this.
I guess I'd been feeling like life was pretty wonderful but today is my parents' 30th wedding anniversary and that got me thinking. I thought, "30 years ago my parents were in their early 20's just starting married life. I wonder if they had any idea how perfect things would be 30 years later." Everyone in our family is happy and healthy. There's love, weddings, a grand baby.
And when I write this, I'm not trying to brag or sound like an asshole but I feel the need to say this.
For literally a couple years I was always the friend with the anecdotes of annoyances or bad news. Failed fertility treatments. Surgery. I wasn't working so my life was pretty boring. Pregnancy ailments. At the end of my pregnancy, in law drama. Just blah. I kept thinking, "I can't wait to not be this person anymore." And I made it - I'm not that person anymore! :)
I feel like I need to take a thousand pictures so I'll always get to look at that sweet, blue eyed babe smiling and laughing. I can't get enough videos of her dancing. How do I freeze this? Or even just bottle it for a not-so-great day that's bound to happen? I guess I just need to savor it and actively try not to think that the boom will be lowered soon.
Probably some super ordinary-looking pictures but these will always capture a moment in time where everything was right in the world...
I know life is about ups and downs but I can't help but want to stay in the "up". At lunch with a girlfriend a couple weekends ago I got a fortune cookie that said a lifetime of happiness lies ahead.
I guess a Seinfeld quote says it best. I just need to look to the cookie.
