LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE.

Falling through the clear blue sky, images of her childhood flashed past her eyes, as though a VCR was pushed in rewind mode. There she was, age three, building a sandcastle on the beach...looking up to see the bright sun shining down on her cute little face. Time flew by as those small little hands changed into sturdier ones which were trying to make a castle out of Lego blocks. Moving on, those hands were suddenly beaded with sweat, as the grasp on the pen she held grew tight, while taking her first major exam. Later on, they were slightly relaxed, as they held onto a steering wheel, driving along with family and friends.

How fast time goes by, she thought. We all come into this world with a set of dreams, hopes and aspirations. We are eager to grow up to achieve these dreams and take over the world. But maybe sometimes in this process, we forget to enjoy the journey. Sometimes we get so caught up in achieving these goals, that we fail to recognize how fast time moves on. Yes, it is important to pursue your dreams and work hard to achieve them. But at the same time, it is also important to take time out for your loved ones, enjoy and cherish every moment spent with them. As it is these moments, that form few of the most beautiful memories to be cherished for a lifetime!

Every day isn't the same. We all wake up with a set of goals, but sometimes God might just have something completely different in store for us. The best thing in life is to take each day at a time, to cherish every moment and do what you love.Perhaps childhood is one of the best examples of that show us the true meaning of doing what we love and doing what makes us smile from within.

As all of these thoughts were going on in her head, she suddenly felt a jerk as though someone was gently trying to wake her up. The dizzy feeling she had experienced earlier was replaced by joyous voices all around her, as a small pink bundle was placed in her hands. Looking at the shining face of her newborn daughter, she realized that, perhaps God had given her a second chance...a chance to relive her childhood once again!
