These Are The Days To Remember...

Today is "Wishcasting Wednesday" and Jamie asks us, "What do you wish to remember"? It seems to me that so often I'm singing along with Natalie Merchant to that song, "These are the Days" by 10,000 Maniacs...

"These are the days you'll remember. Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be warm as this. And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky. It's true that you, are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you. These are the days you'll remember. When May is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in every hour. You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky. It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you. These are days. These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break. These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face. And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be. See the signs and know their meaning. It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be. Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you."

My children are still babies and hopefully we will add a few more to our little clan. For us, "These are the days". I wish to remember these days with fond memories of a magical childhood for my children and in the future... my grandchildren and great grandchildren will hopefully have our influences. I wish they will look upon their lives as well and think..."I had such awesome parents!" The days do go by so fast and it seems that everytime I blink, my little one's have grown another inch! I wish to remember our family's life filled with joy, love, and laughter. I wish to remember the warmth of the love in our lives! I must admit..I also look forward to the many more warm memories we are creating!!

Blessings to you all!

  1. Rose, Isn't it an amazing thing to realize that you will live on because your children are here?

    I hope you can recall every second of it all...

    As Rose wishes for herself, so I lovingly and with intention wish for her also.

  2. What a lovely wish. (And that is one of my favorite songs - never fails to make me stop and go "aha, pay attention and enjoy now."

    I love the idea of so many generations of people being touched by you and your husband with love.

    As Rose wishes for herself, so I wish for her as well.

  4. Rose, I feel the same about my kids. In particular, I want my kids to remember me and tell others, my grandkids, my great-grandkids all about me, even after I'm gone.
