A Younger Martha-Just Having Fun.....

I can still recall this moment--we were headed to see my parents and a small creek was close, as it pulled for our attention to stop and enjoy!  My Leg was so easy to kick up, no Pain anywhere, just pure Joy of being young, filled with Love for my husband!   

Why aren't we looking ahead, wondering when the "bad times" will arrive?  We are living~~treasuring the moments as we have them~~I can look at this photo--and a vivid memory rises to the surface, how cold the water felt on my feet, it was crystal clear, and I loved kicking the water upward, not caring if my new Jeans got wet.  I was living this moment in time-like storing all of them up~~~We were looking through some old photos and this one surfaced--Matt held it for a long time, asking me if I recalled this place, how many times we loved to stop and play in the water--acting like two kids!

Yes--it was bittersweet, but we both knew this was a memory that will stay with us forever.  I told Matt--"Well--thats not Me anymore" as I tossed the photo away from me~~he took my hand and said "You will ALWAYS be My Girl" --a beautiful way to help me Treasure those times and to cherish these times we go through now.    Its called Living!

I look up and whisper "Thank You God."
