Every day we wake up eager to repeat our yesterday’s chores, our
daily routines.
It does not occur to us that may be the end of a repetitious
non-sense.
We are so caught up that we do not get to see each other growing
old, our children once babies now graduating schools or getting married.
We are so caught up that we missed a smile or a sadden face.
We are so caught up that we missed a worried expression or a
joyful noise.
We are so caught up that we do not realize we are all alone,
everyone has already gone.
Every day we wake up with buried anxieties; pay bills, don’t miss
the bus, win contests, meet jobs expectations.
We are so caught up with our routines, it would seem senseless to
steal a sweet kiss, hug our babies, call a friend to say hello, or have a relaxing
lunch with a lover.
But when the noise stops, the laughter ceases, and the touches
vanish
When a face is no longer present, a familiar voice not heard, or
a popular name is almost forgotten
For a short moment we close our eyes pondering on the “what ifs” and
open them only to return to our repetitious non-sense - yet again.

It is a reconditioning process. we need to recondition ourselves to give priority to the things that are more important.what can we do to change our old routine and not take what is important to us for granted?
I love this article. It reminds us of what is truly missing from our daily lives; the true friends, family and loved ones. As the routines have taken over, allowing us to forget what is real versus what is unimportant, we ought to focus on what is dear to us.
