Ramblin' . . . . .
I guess it's either feast or famine with me - two posts in one day, wow!
I just now realized that today is November 1st - less than two months till the New Year! I don't know about you, but this year has flown by amazingly fast for me. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm getting older and busier.
Anyways, while I was having that "amazing revelation" :smile: I heard one of my favorite songs playing, and realized how fitting the lyrics are.
Only Here for a Little While
I'm gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while.
Today I stood singin' songs and sayin', Amen
Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young
He spent his life workin' hard to chase a dollar
Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done
Made me stop and think, What's the hurry, why the runnin'?
I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style
Take my time and not take it all for granted
'Cause we're only here for a little while.
Gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while.
Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow
Treat each day as though it's borrowed
Like it's precious as a child
Whoa, take my hand
Let us reach out to each other
'Cause we're only here for a little while.
Gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while.
Gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while... 
A gentle reminder to never take advantage of the time we have here on this earth, because who knows how much longer we'll be here.

Hey Ali!
Very good points on this post! It's not just you, this year has flown buy! Maybe it's cuz we're getting older. Well, you're older than me so it must be going even faster for you. :) haha!
What Ike said is tooooooooo funny! I was laughing really hard, probably cuz Lydia just did that like yesterday. She'll tell you about it. It's so funny. She felt really bad but now that she knows she's not the only one it makes her feel a little better. So tell Ike thank you! :) haha
Hope to see you soon!
Leah

hey ali,
I voted. I said football. That was a good idea!
Love ya,
deary! :)
oh, and emily and leah both said football too. But only one person can vote so I thought I'd just tell you.
Well, I made it so that you can vote more than once, so all of you should be able to vote.
yup we just figured that out. :)
Awww...such a sweet picture!
And great post, too!
