#36 : Spend time with people under 7 and over 70.

I received an e-mail from a dear friend over a year ago with a subject line that read "The Handbook to Happiness." It had 4 sections with rules in each one on how to live the best most well rounded life. I printed it out and stuck it on the inside of my medicine cabinet, as to be sure to see it numerous times a day. While I agreed with each one, and read almost all of them every day, there is one that always catches my eye 

{#36 : Spend time with people under 7 and over 70.} 

Over these past eight weeks I have had to end my nannying duty I had for the two most adorable boys in the entire world.  Not only are they smart and precocious, but lovable and funny too.  I had really started to feel the full effects of the void in my life.  However, today I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with them.  Full of poopy diapers and hectic demands and questions I left on Cloud Nine.  I then spent some time with my grandma.  Her commentary and lack of tech savvy speak could be (and is) annoying at times, but hilarious and goodhearted as well.  In the end it is just something you have to embrace, because in the end those are the things you will remember.
