Tick Tock

Time's passing too fast. Its hard to measure it , we can't keep it , store it , pause it or ask it to come back later. Today is the youngest we'll ever be ! Tomorrow we'll be a day older, a day wiser. Often we sit back and say we're growing old. We find ourselves thinking more before acting , we look at things from a different angle , and we don't have  enough energy for the same things we did a few years ago . I believe growing old is by choice and we have to make the best of what we have. Most importantly we need to  remain young at heart .

We live such fast lives its hard to give what you're doing or who you're with a hundred percent of your time and  attention. With the Internet , blackberries , i - phones , Laptops , i-pad and social networking sites we tend to multi-task and not give our loved ones enough time and full attention.

We need to realise its not just us getting old , our parents are getting older too . They need more more of our time , more of our attention now more than ever in their lives. They've  watched us grow , guided us , educated us and seen us at all our different stages. Now that we have taken control of our lives and are least dependant on them is when they most need us.  I read a quote today which said " spend time with you're parents before its too late " and maybe just that should be a permanent change in my life . Sometimes i sit and wonder what it would be like if my grandmother - allah yer7mha- was still alive , what would she say , how would she react to a particular situation ? Unfortunately i was very young and memories of her are quite vague . The harsh truth is that they won't be around forever and we need to make the best of it while they're here . Tick Tock ; Time waits for no one, do it right .
