Time Flies

Today I opened my planner and wanted to faint. Where has all the time gone?! What happened to the blissful days of summer? Is it really nearing another Halloween? I just sit there amazed at how life really passes so quickly by. I thumbed though the pages and reminisced over the wonderful days this year- Stopping at the days colored with my ink stains. I smiled at the new job, wondering how I have almost been there for 7 months. I smiled at the birthdays and the memories of outings. I noted at the bottom of every weekend, there seemed to be a wedding that I attended or missed. I can't believe that in a few short weeks, another friend will be married. How quickly life speeds us along.

I think took a few seconds to marvel that while life passes by, each moment can be savored. Tonight, I sat in the quiet hot tub at my complex and just got to think alone. I listened to some kids playing in the distance. Each day when you were young felt like an eternity. Each game or activity was endless- but somehow we cross into the realm of adulthood. I don't quiet know when it happens, but suddenly the wonderful long summer days are just short and spent indoors; usually in an office. I think though, of the nights when I rest my head on my pillow and review though the day. It was a wonderful day, there were wonderful things that happened. Slow and surely things pass along, but I think they are supposed to-- but somehow it's our job to savor those little times that run along. Just like we enjoy the breezes that pass though our hair, or the water that trickles down a river... it is rare to find things that are lasting- but that is why we have forever.
