Beautiful Ride

When you are young, things are so often black and white, choices so much easier, right and wrong.  The older and wiser you grow it seems there are so many more shades of grey.  I suppose this is one of the reasons people long for the carefree days of their youth or even why people suddenly age.  Ironic, since in youth all many kids want is to grow up, never totally realizing the simplicity they have for such a short time.  

Indulge me today.  Each day is a gift, no two are exactly the same, so don't take today for granted.  Look around at where you are and appreciate where ever you may be in your life.  Things change so quickly sometimes, be grateful for today and live for the moment you are in.  Life is too short to take anything for granted, in the words of Gary Allan, "it's a beautiful ride."  Take that ride today.
