The Time Traveler's Wife And Musings On Underwear Left On The Floor

Happy Labor Day One And All! Last night we saw "The Time Traveler's Wife." We left the theatre exhausted.....what a sad, happy, disturbing, and thought provoking film. To have no control over when you come and go into the present time with your loved ones, would be sheer torture wouldn't it? Especially if you had to rely on finding anything left lying around to build a decent outfit! Sheesh! What a nightmare! This movie at it's core brings around the point we must all embrace in our daily lives and that is........Live in this moment; a great message, yet we so often forget to do it. Whether we want to look at ourselves as if we are "time travelers" or not, the fact is that we do "come" and then we "go." We aren't promised another day with the ones we love. So, when I got up this morning and saw my husband's underwear on the floor and my daughter's t-shirt, skirt, and sweatshirt scattered in the hallway.........without a word, I simply picked them up and started a load of wash, smiling to myself that they are tucked warmly in their beds and I have the whole day to appreciate their company. Enjoy the day, go well.
