Have you ever received this little bit of wisdom from a friend or family member? “You’re gonna miss this.” You are complaining or gently expressing some form of discontentment about some kind of circumstance, when someone who has been in your shoes says, “You’re gonna miss this.”
College exams are looming…or…baby is crying at 3am…or…finances are tight this month. Whatever the excuse is for looking ahead and wishing for better days, you can be assured that someone somewhere wants to tell you, “You’re gonna miss this.”
And how do we respond? With stubborn short-sightedness. “No I’m not gonna miss this.” Somehow, we just can’t learn this lesson. No matter how many times someone older or wiser or both reminds us, we just keep right on looking for things to get “better,” not appreciating what’s right in front of us.
And then what? We do end up missing those days. “I wish I had taken the time to stop and appreciate how good things were.”
And then, we’re the ones passing the wisdom along to other deaf ears.your gonna miss this
your gonna want this back
your gonna wish these days
hadn't gone by so fast
these are some good times
so take a good look around
you may not know it now
but your gonna miss this

Just so you know, posting Trace Adkins lyrics will always lower the profundity factor of your blog posts.
Allan, failing to appreciate the profundity of Trace will not earn you any points as a credible commenter here buddy.
Given the scope of our conversations recently, what makes you think credibility is a concern of mine? :)
Good point! I shouldn't be surprised if you are emboldened to express yourself without regard for credibility or popularity.
