…it’s too late. so, do it now.  hug the necks of those you love, relax, listen to music that makes you happy, stop worrying your life away, smile at people, let people know their value in your life, pet your dog…fill the bunny bowl with treats for your kiddies and maybe even enjoy one yourself. all these things and so many more are things i’d like to work on in my own life. i guess just living like there’s no tomorrow…but man, it’s hard. my mother-in-law passed a week ago, somewhat unexpectedly…i have a million regrets and i hate that. this bunny bowl has tremendous meaning to my family, especially now. she got it for my children when i still had only a pair of children. she tried hard to always have it filled with candy, usually m&m’s, kisses or baby hershey’s bars. if there was ever a time that she let it slip her mind and the bowl was empty, she promptly blamed my father-in-law to the children, telling them that “i guess grandpa ate it all” (i don’t think he minded taking the blame). the bunny bowl was a very consistent source of comfort for my oldest daughter when she’d visit grandma and grandpa, if ever she was unhappy for any reason, the bunny bowl was frequently the fix. i can very clearly see and hear her in grandma’s kitchen being held by grandpa, digging her fat little toddler fingers in and scooping out more than she was actually offered, but no one actually minding. yesterday i noticed the bunny bowl while i was putting away dishes and was immediately hit with emotion. i knew what needed to be done…fill that bowl! i actually almost failed by filling it with a healthy treat, then realized that wouldn’t have honored the tradition at all. i’m hoping this is a step in the right direction on a quest to live like there’s no tomorrow.
