a little on the sad side...

i've been thinking alot lately about death. i know that sounds morbid...but just passing thoughts...not anything scary. lol you know...stuff like how short our lives *really* are, how people feel about death, etc. i was looking at an old picture of someone who is now either very very old or most likely dead. so sad how beautiful and full of life people are at one time...then time goes by so life with being married, taking care of kids, paying bills, working, etc...i think it just passes right before our eyes. we don't even realize it. it's there...it's busy...it's all we can do to keep up....then...*POOF*...it's gone. you're young, you're vibrant, beautiful, a smoothe face and body, lively/wrinkle-less eyes, full plump lips, maybe beautiful long/thick/flowing hair...and then one day you look in the mirror and you see your mother. lol and not that your mother isn't beautiful...but she's aged...she's not so wrinkle-less anymore...she has graying hair, crows feet by her eyes. she shows what she's been through...life. but, it's sad. the woman she once was...she is no more. she's someone else...someone who's lived life and is now half-way through...maybe more. who knows? yes, it's somewhat morbid...but it's reality. it's what we see every day...we see people who were once like us...and are now over the hump of life and nearing the end of the long road.



i'm sorry for the somewhat depressing blog today...but these are my thoughts...lol.
