Life goes by fast- enjoy the small stuff

I always enjoy the conversations at the barber shop. I always go when I have plenty of time...lol. Last time I went, there was a little bitty boy there with his Dad to get his first haircut. (The kid, not the Dad!) The young'n was an absolute hellion running around like a wild Indian all over the shop. I sat there and thought "This is gonna be one more show when he gets in the chair". I was dead wrong! When he got in the chair, he was calm as could be, never whimpered, protested or fidgeted! Just sat there smiling while the barber cut his hair. He went from looking like one of the Lost Boys to a handsome young man in about 10 minutes. He was good because the barber knew how to handle him instead of scaring him to death with his first ever haircut. My first one didn't go nearly as well 60 something years ago.....lol.

Life certainly does go by FAST! In what will seem like a blink of the eye, that young man will be in his mid 60's, just retired and sitting in the barber shop watching some little guy get his first haircut. He might even be sitting there thinking....dang, that was me a few years ago! :( :eek:
