The Toilet Roll

 

They say that life is like a toilet roll; the nearer it gets to the end the faster it goes round.

How often do we speed busily through life from one thing to another and rarely have the time to stop and enjoy what life is all about.

Let's slow down a bit and make happy memories for tomorrow.

  1. Dearest Victor,
    Indeed the little things are the most valuable.
    Guess, being an immigrant made us more aware of all that!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    1. I understand, Mariette. I believe we should go through life making happy memories for us and others. They will sustain us in future.

      God bless.

  3. What a wonderful song! I mean, who can't not relate to those lyrics. Now I wish I hadn't been so quick to throw away much of my own 'stuff' and kept a shoebox of my own.
    Thank you for sharing this message in song!

    1. I understand, Mevely. Sometimes I find things collected from my past ... and the memories come flooding in.

      God bless you always.

  4. The little moments all together make big moments that you don't want to overlook.

  5. I wept through this song. My son passed away last October. He was forty five. He left two children one eight and one five. They have many videos of their dad teaching them to swim, ride a bicycle and many other things. It is the little things that mean the most. Thanks for this lovely reminder. Blessings to you and yours, Victor.

  6. Simpler times and the simple things. That's what truly makes the world go round.

    1. Yes Martha, we tend to forget the simple times in life. The good memories we leave behind as our legacy of love.

      God bless you and yours.

    1. Yes Jan. We always seem to be rushing these days.

  8. If anything matters, then everything matters, including, and maybe even especially, the little things.

  9. I don't have a shoebox full of memories, every time I moved I threw so much away, but I do have albums and boxes of old photos and that's enough for me.

    1. I agree, River. Sometimes the best memories are the ones in our heart.

      God bless.

  10. I am so glad I looked back here and saw I had missed this entry. I have never heard that song. Ah, tears here. I never intentionally had a picture of me and daddy. I wish I had. But I remember the pocket knife and carving my knife in many trees.
    We no longer have a shoe box, but our mamas did. THANK YOU my friend, this was the best and I almost missed it.
    Love from over here. I also spoke your name in prayer also.

    1. I am so grateful for your much needed prayers, Jack and Sherry. Thank you so much.

      I'm so glad we met on the Internet. Memories, fond memories, of times gone by and of people in our past, are the best way to honour them and thank them for the influence they had on us. I am sure your parents love you as always, and are very proud of you.

      God bless you all always.
