Another Year
Well.....another birthday and another year gone by. It does not seem possible that this is true. The birthday yes, but a year gone not so much. My mother always said that time goes by faster the older you get. I now know what she means.
When my children were small it seemed like time went much slower - at least until they started school. Once this took place then the years did seem to go in a flash. One day they were entering kindergarten and the next they were graduating from high school. Leaving me to wonder where all those years had gone.
As each milestone in my children's lives have passed - school, marriage, children - the years go increasingly faster. There does not seem to be enough time to spend with my children, grandchildren, family and friends. I find myself trying to squeeze more and more into each hour, day, and week. Hoping I do not miss a thing along the way.
So as I start my journey through this next year of my life I will try to slow down enough so as not to waste any of it. There are all those days that need to be spent wisely and shared with those that I love. I know this one will go as quickly as the last and all those blessed moments need to be cherished and remembered.
