The Inevitable

You know how they say that the only certain things in life are death and taxes? Well, I think that a few more things are inevitable in this life:

Most puppies will look cute;

Kids will be natural helpers if you can stand to let them;

Growth and decline in their natural order, both sometimes sad;

When a wife/mother completes something, the natural forces in the home embodied by spouse and children will unite and conspire against her to undo what she has labored to do;

Few things remain 'done';

Change is constant;

If you were born, you will die;

Kids/dogs will make messes and get dirty;

Love is not a destination, it is a journey;

The purpose of living is to learn;

We will all make mistakes;

And last but not least for now, life will go on.

You are so right! Your Dad keeps reminding me that there is always something to do. And yes, life keeps going on and you just have to sink or swim!
