“The secret of life
Is enjoying the passage of time.
Any fool can do it,
There ain’t nothing to it.
Nobody knows how we got
To the top of the hill.
But since we’re on our way down,
We might as well enjoy the ride…
The secret of love
Is in opening up your heart.
It’s okay to feel afraid,
But don’t let that stand in your way.
‘Cause anyone knows
That love is the only road.
And since we’re only here for a while,
Might as well show some style.
Give us a smile...
Isn’t it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, gliding down,
Try not to try too hard,
It’s just a lovely ride…
Now the thing about time
Is that time isn’t really real.
It’s just your point of view,
How does it feel for you?
Einstein said he
Could never understand it all.
Planets spinning through space,
The smile upon your face,
Welcome to the human race.Some kind of lovely ride.” ― James Taylor

Such a wonderful post, Priscilla. I especially like the first photo – and the James Taylor lyrics are perfect. Blessings to you this holiday season as it will be hard after loosing your mother.
Thanks, Pat. I will be thinking of her in many moments, I’m sure…with a smile and a tear.
My favorite JT song.
Wishing you more happy memories this season and beyond.
