We laughed so hard and hugged each other a whole bunch, all the while having an absolutely wonderful time. I could not have been in a better place at that moment in time. Come to think about it, I would not have traded those moments for anything else in the world. It was truly a precious time of memory making ... for me and my grandchildren..
 
May I ask what are you doing to rack up marvelous memories with the special people in your life? This, I believe is one of the most vital priorities we adults can have. Maybe this attitude I have comes from looking back over the last 30 ... 40 ... 50 years and cherishing the many good memories that I have been fortunate to experience.
 
Maybe, I am thinking this way because of my very close call with death last year in May. (Yes, my doctor told me I was two weeks away from the grave, back then.) Now ten months later I have lost 50 pounds of body fat, (still a hundred pounds yet to go), have been taking my medications faithfully, and done my best to consistently follow the doctor's orders. I am walking more, drinking lots of water and taking my vitamins, all the while, reaping the benefit of feeling better each day as I continue to make numerous life changes and paradigm shifts.
 
Making all these lifestyle changes has not been easy for me-but then, most worthwhile things never are-however now that I have had my "wake-up call" I am sufficiently motivated to change.  After all, there are lots more pillow fights to be had and I want to be around for many more years so I can keep enjoying my grandchildren and even, one day, my great-grandchildren!
 
Now, today let's you and I make a deal. From this day forward we are going to be more creative and innovative and better at seizing opportunities, keeping our priorities straight and living life to the absolute fullest so we can keep on making those marvelous memories!
