It seems redundant to say once again, where does the time go? I have a new appreciation for time, but it still seems to slip through my fingers without a hitch. Life is interesting, we spend it anticipating and waiting for the "events" ....then as we progress through our lives...even though we still anticipate, there is more of an appreciation of the "now events" I can't say that I don't wish for some days to be done, but then when I realize that whatever stressors the day has brought, I can't get the day back, I can't change things that have occurred. So, I sleep on it and try to wake up to a clean slate and a new opportunity to make a difference in some way.
The other thing that occurs to me is that there is more to life than slogging through the days. All of our days are precious at this point in our lives. I struggle to make them memorable, more than a list of to-do's. This is the point at which I wish I was more of an entertainer, socializer...we are too quiet and lost in our worries..we need to enjoy our days...OK a new resolve...find one thing to celebrate each day!
I do spend a part of each day being grateful...it is not hard to find a long list of people and experiences that help me remember who is in charge, who loves us and who is guiding us through the rapids. I have to remember that when I have done all I can do, the rest is made up by He who knows and loves. Knowing that is easy, being sure to live as an example of one who knows is more difficult.
As we awake to a new day, full of anticipation to have all of our family here together once again, I celebrate the softness and pleasure that a certain 4 year old will bring to the faces of a care-worn group of adults...we will enjoy every minute of time together, because, this is time we will not get back.
