Time.

How precious.

As we get older, that time seems to get less and less.

Is it that time is actually moving faster? or that our experiences are seemingly less and less in the here and now?

I seem to see this more in the eyes of my dogs.  My kids.  My mother.

I still feel 25 (and some would argue that I act that way, too!).

But I am not.

We are not.

Time is so precious.

Before you know it, it’s gone.

Enjoy every day and every minute.

Just like that it can be taken away from you.

Afterall, wasn’t I just 22 yesterday?

Wasn’t my daughter just born?

Where did it all go? In the blink of an eye it passed.

The fear for me is that I will never get this time back.  NEVER.

This is it.

So, I want to take advantage of this opportunity, this incredible gift of the here and now, to really make the most of it and not focus on things that don’t support that.

Spend time with those that mean the most and that bring you up.

Everything else is meaningless.

Today will never be today again, and to acknowledge that is to embrace it.
