If Tomorrow Never Comes

Posted by: jude in Mature Not Senile Misc

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday went by in a blur seems like all I do is blink my eyes and half my life has past away. I try to savor the moments and enjoy as much as possible because I know it will be gone before I know it. As much as I try not to have regrets because nothing can be changed in my life and it’s a wasted emotion a few regrets still remain concerning my Son.

I find myself humming that song “If Tomorrow Never Comes” and the poem below which I think was “Tomorrow Never Comes” written by Norma Cornett Marek in 1989 which has been claimed by many under different names, but I received the poem many years ago and I will contribute it to Norma who I believe passed away in 2004.

Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it was our last time I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it was our last time I’d see you out the door, We’d hug and kiss, and I’d call you back for more.

If I knew it was our last time, I’d hear your voice in praise, I’d record each action and each word,
to play them back day by day.

If I knew it was our last time, I’d spend a moment or two to stop and say “I Love You”, not assuming you know that I do.

If I knew it was our last time, I’d be there to share your day….. presuming I’d have many more,
so I let this one slip away.

For surely there’s tomorrow to make up for the oversight, we always get a second chance to make everything right.

There will always be another day to say our “I Love You’s”, and surely there’s another chance to say “What can I do?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say “I Love You ! “, and hope we don’t forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to young and old alike, today may be that last chance I can hold that loved one tight. If your waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you could regret the day, you didn’t take that extra time, for a smile, a hug, a kiss, and you were too busy to grant their one last wish.

So, hold your loved one close today and whisper in their ear, tell them how you love them that you’ll always hold them dear.

Take time to say “I’m sorry”, “forgive me”, “thank you”, “it’s OK”, and if tomorrow never comes
there’s no regret about today.

Postcards Of York, PA

Posted by: jude in Mature Not Senile Misc

A few old postcards of York, PA where I first went to live in 1968 left in 1970 and returned 10 years later and moved around until 1987 and have been here ever since. This is one city you can leave and return and it changes very little. When I first moved here from the South I was shocked at all the houses stuck together. Have a great 4th.

Everybody Loves A Quickie

Posted by: jude in Mature Not Senile Misc

I would really like to wish everyone a safe and fun filled 4th of July weekend now encase I don’t post tomorrow. People around here have been celebrating this past week with fireworks all over the place and my Shadow is really ticked at all the noise. This post will be a quickie because I’m way behind in many things and need to play catch-up. I personally love when I go to a blog and don’t have to read a whole page because lately my brain cells aren’t co-operating with me.

I received an e-mail from Trader’s Hub this morning letting me know his contest was over and he would be drawing the winners within 48 hours he also informed me that my top commenter for the month of June is also entitled to 10 entries to a separate raffle and may win 10,000 EC credits so I went through my comments for last month and counted them and the winner was Lin from Duck And Wheel With String, she and Jan from Better Spines were close so I thought I would thank you both with link love just for being so nice.

The Only Bounce I Care About Is In My Step

Posted by: jude in Mature Not Senile Misc

Bounce rate doesn’t bother me, but apparently many bloggers complain all the time about the crappy traffic they get from Entrecard. I get crappy traffic from search engines especially when they are looking for mature sexual activity from and about old women and are expecting to see pictures, how long do you think the perverts stay on this blog? My stats tell me that the average visitor is 1 min 11 seconds.

For those that are involved with Entrecard I’m sure some of you will like the change that they are planning to their system and others of course will balk. The email said they anticipate those that are power droppers will be yelling the most because they will now have to interact before they get credit. Does it really matter? If people are interested in something they will react.

I don’t want anyone to feel like they have to leave me a comment or do anything when they stop by my blog. I certainly don’t want a lot of insincere gibberish that I have to sift through. I appreciate the traffic and my Alexa makes note of it. I personally have met a lot of nice bloggers through Entrecard, but I certainly don’t want to feel like I have to leave a comment every time I visit.

I usually go with the flow so it really doesn’t matter, but when and if a program gets too stupid and doesn’t make sense to me anymore then I just leave. So far Entrecard hasn’t reached that plateau for me even though they have done some pretty stupid things in the past I still find them useful and I’m grateful for the traffic whether anyone interacts with me or not so thanks for your visit.
