Time to put this on paper and out of my head.

There are moments when I feel I have lived a lifetime.  Whether its the creak in the back reminding me of poor lifting techniques over the years or squinting to focus the eyes a little more each day, something is always there to remind me.  My kids are getting up there 21, 18, 16, 13...looking back to when we joked about what life would be like when they were all teenagers!!  Well its not all motorcycle rides, cruises, and baseball vacations.  I can't really pick a moment in time where one decision, one cosmic collision changed the course of this life, it doesn't exist. A majority of the events in this life have been great, filled with happy and joyful people living life and loving each other.  There have been too many other times that don't fit the picture.  The saving grace is that it hasn't been a lifetime, there is hope, its not a fairy tale I'd want my kids to see, it would be scary, dark, embarrassing, sad, and a real debbie downer...until the sec...
