...if you could just go back to...where would it take you...

day 334...

...many of your best discussions, can quite possibly come from where you work...majority of americans spend more time working than at their homes...so as a result of that...we take part in a few if not many conversations with our co-workers....and what tends to happen is some pretty interesting conversations...

...this week a very dear woman passed away that was extremely close to two people i work with...and as we all mourn the loss of this amazing woman, who i only knew briefly but heard many a great story about...it pushed us to think about the moments that pass us by or rather the time that keeps flying past us...and one of my co-workers said i only wish i would have taken 5 minutes out of my day and went and saw her...just to have that one more minute with her...

...in addition to always knowing the time we have with someone especially with those that we love is always too short...we, ourselves, as we grow older realize that our lives change...our bodies are not the same as they were 15 years ago, let alone a year ago...our minds are not as sharp as we want them to be...our responsibilities are forever changing and can become more demanding as we grow older...

...so what is that time or that moment that you would return too...would you be 8 years old again and not have a care in the world...would you be 16 again and relive your high school years, or maybe 21 when you are still in college but old enough to run with the big boys...or maybe you just prefer your 20's through and through....

...then again maybe to you it is not a number...maybe it is just one more moment to say i'm sorry for hurting you...or please forgive me...or to say one more i love you...maybe you want to go back and take the words that came flying out of your mouth and just be silent...or could it be that you were quiet and you want to go back and say everything you couldn't...

...we can't go back to those years or those moments or events...we can't go back to words spoken or unspoken...all we can do is go from here...wishing that the next age or the next moment is all that we ever hoped for...
