Knowing that we aren't promised tomorrow always makes me take a pause, am I doing what I am called to do or am I just doing whatever is convenient? Buying a 1972 VW Bug made my mind spin a bit! Remembering the times Jami and I had and always thinking the world as ours for the taking, how right and wrong we were!
Right that both of us ended up enjoying the life that we created for ourselves and wrong because we often wondered what would it or what should have been! I suppose this is normal, all a part of growing up and evaluating our actions and how they have formed who we are. There were times I would call Jami and we would just talk about what was going on and whether or not it was what we wanted. We would laugh or cry and decide that good or bad it was just where we were supposed to be at that specific time.
So back to the Bug. Sitting in it thinking about the road trips and stuck cassette tapes and yes the burning ankles during the winter...all reminded me how precious our lives are not just to those that we are in daily contact with but especially those that we have a history with and those that although our paths are in different places our hearts are untwined,
I haven't always been the best at keeping in touch with those I care about but I know that my heart is warm with memories!
So when I see a Bug or hear one it not only reminds me of Jami but it reminds me of so many other events that make me cherish those I love.
