Somewhere out there.....

"Somewhere out there you will find the one." I found myself saying to someone. I said it with conviction and love. Lately our mailbox has been filled with wedding invitations, baby shower invitations and annoucements. The young ones who you once helped carpool to events are now openning doors of adulthood. It is hard to imagine the gawky girl, who once stayed up all night chewing gum with your children is now a woman and going to be married, or the child who you wiped their dirty face will soon be changing dirty diapers. Life goes by so quickly.....The paths you once took are different journies than ones you traveled down. Giving advise carefully now because you don't want to sway their opinion too much. You want them to expierence life and not settle because they want to be one of the pack. So you tell them....somewhere out there is the one for you.....don't rush through life, savor the moment. Love life......fix it if it is broken......heal it if it is sick......Love the ones who will always be in your life, your grandparents, family and the friends who have always been there for you even if you don't see them often. The ones you can email or call and they will be there.
Life is important....like people you know are special, keep them close. Love yourself first so you can be loved, then somewhere out there you will find the one you love.
