Our lives do pass by in an instant. One cool thing about personal blogging is that you get to reminisce on past experiences. One day, however, it will all return to dust.
My wife and I have both had deaths in our families of origin this past month and this song has really brought in some serious emotions. I think it takes a good heart to recognize this song and its message . . . so there ya are!

Hi Damien,
Thank you for your thoughtful words. I am sorry to hear of your family's recent losses and hope the emotions the song evoked will serve to help you and your wife in some small measure.
The song', like so many country tunes that contain stories and basic philosophy, strikes a personal note with me too, and I have no doubt that many others with "good hearts" recognize the simple message it conveys.

28/09: When Did You Last Take A Time Out
I'm going totally off topic now. I'm also quoting someone else's words of wisdom, just because it's all well and good to be hustling that extra Adsense income, that next affiliate sale, that "next big thing" but a little perspective never goes amiss. So, forgive the down home tone of this philosophy break, but do think on it if you will........
"I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."
Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over start again
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth
Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
I've been tryin' to slow it down
I've been tryin' to take it in
In this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' in
Don't blink
No, don't blink, life goes faster than you think"
Country fans will know this, but for those that don't follow country music but like these words, they are taken from Kenny Chesney's latest single "Don't Blink" from the album Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates
