Well it's been 9 days since my last blog, and I was wondering which topic I should move onto next?
But then I came across this wonderful blog by another colleague, about age and it how we deal with it!
I couldn't have said it better myself.............so I hope you enjoy the message........and the momentum the author creates!
For me, the interpretation is simple!..........Be in the moment as much as you can......because that last moment you had............you'll never get again!

"I wouldn't have changed any of it for the world!".........Marriage at its' best!
"Marriage............life..........togetherness.......................partnership!
Many of the Weddings, Vow Renewals and Funeral ceremonies I design and take, touch upon married life..............short marriages...............long marriages...............and just what it was about them that made them so perfect! And whilst every marriage is different and unique...................the answers I get boil down to some pretty fundamental issues!
- That you stick at it................".......through thick n' thin!.....". Marriage is for the long haul.............................so believe in it!
- That through all the laughs and tears................you give and take!
- That you never go to bed on an argument.....................every day starts afresh with a new day ahead of you! And as one lady once said to me........."I always said.....Good Night.....and God Bless.......and then I asked him if I could turn over to sleep!"
It's not rocket science is it? And yet they're probably some of the hardest things to do, in the struggles and challenges of modern life.
I can see and hear many of the families and couples I've worked with, sitting in front of me now, telling me all about their marriage. I laugh with them. Often they cry with me. It's part of a story that's given them the life they've loved and enjoyed!
We all live in an era of choice.............information about this.............facts about that.........decisions to be made everywhere! But when someone says to me......"that they wouldn't have changed anything for the world.........".................then isn't that what really matters at the end of the day?
