So happy for them both - they are so clearly well suited, but these milestones in life do make you pause and reflect on how swiftly the years pass. I never had kids (no regrets) but I often take the time to appreciate how swiftly life moves, and how important it is to pause and appreciate genuinely good times, as fleeting as they sometimes can be.
Take care, TWTD community , and try to focus on the good times. That's how we make life meaningful. |  |

You are feeling old ! My grandson has just popped the question.
But you are right. Carpe Diem.
That is why the last few years on here have been so precious. |  | | |

I’d try a bit of Carpe Diem action and it’s great advice … but I’m always too tired when I should be doing it .. mentally, as well as physically.. which makes it feel worse 😉.
Nb.
My response is likely to be coloured by another birthday 🥳 |  |

A proper marvel that Andy. |  |

Yup.
Come January I am due to become a grandfather, at the tender age of 46. Yikes. Our daughter and her fiancée will then be the first of our kids to wed in June.
It goes fast folks. |  |

I remember, what doesn't seem that long ago, when my mates were pregnant and we were excited (well me and the guy, especially, as we'd grown up together) that the child might be born on my birthday, Nov 1st.
He was... and on Sunday he celebrated his 21st! Mad. |  |

Only seems like 5 mins ago since I was reading about this new fangled thing called steam power |  | | |

My Granddaughter is now a doctor after five years of Uni. We both remember fondly my daughter phoning us to tell us of her birth.
She is now 24 and my daughter is nearing her 50th birthday. That's insane,
Many of the people I worked with have passed on. Great work colleagues. Great people who I had many laughs with and enjoyed working with.
Now I am 76 and I am grateful for reaching that age.
Whilst monetary restrictions apply to everyone and I am no different, despite never earning huge wages, decent yes, but not huge I have managed to see many parts of the world.
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Mexico,Turkey,Egypt, The Caribbean, USA, Canada, Morocco and Ukraine.
I could have had a better house, a better car. Do I have regrets on spending a small fortune on visiting these places ? No not really. I am lucky to have had the chance.
Do what you can, when you can. You only have one life and for some it's sadly far too short as it was with my dear Mum who died aged 50. |  | | |
