Quotable Sunday

Each year the days seem to pass by a little more quickly. Perhaps, it's having children, perhaps it's getting older, perhaps it's a lack of sleep...but, whatever the reason, it seems more important than ever to live now, enjoy each moment and make the most of each day. Time, especially with the ones we love, seems to pass all to quickly.
