Lost in Translation

Time always changes.

No matter how hard we try to put a routine to it and sometimes control it ... we are all fools to think we can.

It slips out of our fingers... it disappears with the blink of an eye .... and before you even know it .... seconds turns to minutes, turns to hours, turns to days, turns to nights, turns to months, turns to years.

When do you find time for life... for yourself... for your children... for your love?

A moment in time also has the ability to capture an emotion.. a feeling that .... when you recall a time past you can also remember the tears shed, the laughter among friends, the passion enflamed....

Time lets you appreciate life... it lets you hope for a better tomorrow ... it lets you think that tomorrow is a new day ... a Better Day.

Be engulfed by time. Know that it can be your enemy or your friend. Know that you must make the best of what time you have. Know that you only have a little time to love, and not waste time on hate. Spend time on things and people who matter, for they are what make time spent worth reminiscing.

No matter what enjoy it ... embrace it and appreciate the gift of time.

I do.

    Time is definitely an interesting thing...and we can't make more of it so we have to enjoy the heck out of what we have.

    Beautiful post! Your comment "Know that you only have a little time to love, and not waste time on hate," really spoke to my heart tonight. It made me think about the time spent in disagreements with those you love rather than nurturing those relationships. And we never really have enough time...to heal and to forgive. Well written.

My Version of Fall.

I have been seeing on other blogs beautiful pictures of the ever changing and eye stimulating Fall season. Honestly living in Trinidad limits your experiences of the changing seasons and seeing how spring turns to summer to fall and then winter. All I have is endless summer greenery. All I have is the constant warm weather and lush green rain forests. So I have been living vicariously through other blog admiring the Fall pictures and sometimes questioning if it is really true. Then I had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and got to spend the day just lying on a beach and soaking in the sun. So I decided to give you all my version of Fall. And see what we get during the Fall Season. Enjoy.  I visited a beach house in Blanchisseuse Beach and it was attached to 3 different bays. It was fun just splashing in the waves, and fun exploring each bay in the warming sun. This was a bird's eye view of the bay that had clear green water and little watery caves to hide under. My son...

Family Traditions!!!!

If it is one thing I look forward to around this time is the Carreira's Christmas Tree Family Tradition! Founded by ME :) my sisters and my mom started visiting (or going house to house) homes to help decorate the Christmas Tree as well as decorate the home. When my son was not even a year old was when this tradition began... in my home in Port of Spain. Now 8 years later it has become a Family get together, food and drinks sharing .... and putting up the decorations. I LOVE it. Coming from a home with many siblings (3 brother and 3 sister ... most married with children) it is great when most gather and the house is filled with everyone. Lets just say it is a lot of laughs, bickering, laughs ... silent moments when our mouths are filled with food ... and then delegation on the work area. Did I mention I LOVE it. So here are some pics of the end result. My home is now filled with Christmas ... and I have to start wrapping present. :) This picture shows my mom, a...

Anticipating Grenada!

As most mothers and parents secretly wish, Getting away without the kids is usually hard to accomplish. But this weekend my husband and I eagerly await, A vacation in Grenada for 2, we were able to create!!!! I cannot wait for the clear blue sea, I cannot wait for it to be just him and me. I cannot wait for the sunny sky, To just lie on the beach and watch the day go by. I wish for all to be able to see, How important it is for the adults to be free. To take some time and enjoy just being together, Making sure they remember why they chose to be ... forever. My countdown for Grenada is on.... 3 days to go!!!
