a Beer, a Whine and The Spirit

I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant, or because life seems to be changing at a rapid rate, or if it's the rainy afternoon we're having in Melbourne, but I've been feeling very nostalgic lately. Remembering old times, old friends, the way things used to be, and how they'll never be the same again and what that means.

And I've had this song in my head all day, which lead me to look up this. And I gotta say, after reading the following part of the article, I got all choked up... (see if you can guess what it's from before you look up the links!)

Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers, the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house, like a lot of houses. A yard like a lot of other yards. On a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back...with wonder.

Life is just happening and I feel like I'm along for the ride. And what a ride! Looking back over the last 5 years, I can't believe how much has changed, but everything is just falling in to place. It makes me feel amazingly blessed.
